The Kristensen et al. 2016 paper performed a comparison between optim
and nlminb
and found nlminb
to be more stable and faster.
Thanks @Andrea-Havron-NOAA, we will use nlminb in the wrapper function as suggested.
Issue details
It would be nice to have a single function to run a FIMS model where everything is ran in an environment inside the wrapper function so your working environment is not polluted and you do not have to make multiple calls to non-FIMS functions, i.e.,
MakeADFun()
andoptim()
. This wrapper function will help make FIMS more accessible to non-power users. Good examples exist in {sdmTMB} and {glmmTMB}. This topic is touched on in the following issues617

The timeline for the development of this R function is still underway but research is currently being conducted.
Notes for the development of this function can be found here on Google Drive.
