Hi Noel,
The analytical Hessian obj$he currently only works for models without random effects. As you correctly point out, you don't need obj$he in order to use nlminb or sdreport.

Thanks Kasper
For curiosity, I ran TMB+nlminb for a problem with no random effects but about 700 parameters and 12000 observations. without using hessian. runtime 3.41 sec, outer mgc: 0.08780289 using hessian: runtime 51.20 sec, outer mgc: 0.001555197
Using the hessian gives a better result in terms of mgc but much slower. I need to figure out how to get nlminb from stopping interations too soon
sorry I closed by mistake
Hello All
I am a new user with little experience with cpp so be nice to me.
obj$fn and obj$gr in TMB examples return the function value to minimize, and its gradient. obj$he() is there too, and it seems to return the hessian. When I run obj$he(par) I get the error message:
Error in .Call("tmb_invQ_tril_halfdiag", L, PACKAGE = "TMB") : 'L' is missing
None of the examples use the hessian in nlminb so I am thinking this error is expected and TMB is not returning the hessian function,
Am I correct?
