Suggestions for the PBSadmb user guide (mostly minor), which I printed on
17th Sept 2009:
page 5, Step 1, end of paragraph: maybe add " (your directory might be
C:\Program Files\R\Rx.xx or something similar). " That seems to be the
default nowadays, which is what most people would use.
page 5, Step 3: ...download the file "Rtools28.exe" - add " (or the
latest version available) ".
page 5, step 6: I had to do installADMB() to get the ADMB code downloaded
from google codes.
page 6 describes how to load in the .tpl etc. files for the examples. But
then for the examples it doesn't say which buttons to press (presumably
Make, Convert, Compile and Run, but I'm not sure if they're all needed). I
haven't looked through the appendix of function names yet, and I think
they'd explain everything there. But a bit of guidance for the first
example would be useful.
page 6, just before the examples: it would be helpful to point out that the
plotting options (Pairs, Eggs, etc. ) in the Output area are only for MCMC
runs. The simple.tpl example works fine, but you don't get to see any plots
of the output. (Presumably because it would be hard to have some generic
buttons that compare model predictions to the data, in the sense that the
code would need to be different for different models - that might or might
not be worth mentioning). But then simplePBS.r usefully does have the R
code to explicitly plot the regression line and the data.
page 7. For the pheno example, need to mention that you have to select "Ran
Eff:" to yes to get it to work.
I'd found some other problems, but they've already been fixed in the latest
version. Good job!
I'm using PBSadmb version 0.50.34 and PBSmodelling 2.23.142, both
downloaded on 6th Oct 2009, and Windows XP.
