[Feature]: Create generic infrastructure for priors and random effects #545

Open Andrea-Havron-NOAA opened 5 months ago

Andrea-Havron-NOAA commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

FIMS currently has a flag that allows the user to estimate parameters as random effects, but the model still lacks the infrastructure for implementing RE estimation

Describe the solution you would like.

Generalized infrastructure in the C++ code that allows for hierarchical association of parameters with likelihoods. This infrastructure should allow for both random effect and Bayesian estimation

Describe alternatives you have considered

implement FIMS as penalized likelihood model

Statistical validity, if applicable

State-space stock assessment models have been tested with SAM and WHAM

Describe if this is needed for a management application
