Model equations are specified as plain text (e.g. "y == a*exp(b*eta)"). Gradients are obtained by automatic differentiation via ''RTMB'', and the constrained problem is solved with ''nloptr'' (SLSQP or augmented Lagrangian). Missing data are handled case-wise. The methodology is described in Oldenburg (2024) and Oldenburg (2025) .' authors: - family-names: Oldenburg given-names: Reinhard email: reinhard.oldenburg@math.uni-augsburg.de repository: https://rolenburg.r-universe.dev commit: f26aac977d47ca5a85db5e26ba17e0950f3a6e39 date-released: '2026-08-28' contact: - family-names: Oldenburg given-names: Reinhard email: reinhard.oldenburg@math.uni-augsburg.de
