[FORGED] Re: nlmer and the binomial distribution.

   I guess overwhelmingly difficult is in the eye of the beholder.  Any
chance of a small example of what you want to do? Although TMB is
written in an extended form of C++ rather than R, it might not be too
horrible. A version of the classic orange tree example is here:
https://kaskr.github.io/adcomp/orange_big_8cpp-example.html (it could
use more comments/there are a few slightly weird-looking things ...)

Thank you for this kind offer to investigate further.

It just so happens that I have to hand a toy data set that I constructed 
for Bruce Swihart to use in his efforts to help me.  This data set is 
attached as "simdat.txt".  This a result of a dput().  To obtain the 
data do:

     X <- dget("simdat.txt")

I have also attached what I hope is a reasonably lucid explanation of 
the model that I am trying to fit (in "problem.pdf").

Thanks again for taking a look at this.

cheers,

Rolf
