Hi
I implemented the age-structure model in Gove et al (2002) in R, which is a
nonlinear statistical model. However running the model in R was very slow.
So Dave Fournier suggested to use the AD Model Builder Software package and
helped me implement the model there.
ADMB was incredibly fast in running the model:
While running the model in R took 5-10 minutes, depending on the settings,
in ADMB it took 1-2 seconds!
I'm reporting this so that people who have performance issues with nonlinear
statistical models in R will know that there is a good free alternative for
more difficult problems.
There is also a help platfrom equivalent to the one for R, and people
running it are extremley helpful.
I hope this might help someone
cheers
Beni

Hi Beni,
Thanks for posting information that might be useful for people on the
list. The only thing is that without a little more detail on how exactly
you implemented things in R, we are left to guess if the performance
issues are a problem of R, or that your particular implementation was
the problem. There are was of implementing R code in two ways, where the
first takes minutes and the second 1-2 seconds. Furthermore, you are
giving us no option to defend R ;).
cheers,
Paul
