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
