THREE BIG THINGS THIS WEEK

  1. After two weeks of not merging in any PRs, I switched it up and merged in Bai’s first so now we just have one outstanding PR left, which we have made a lot of progress on but still need some more progress to get it into dev. Mainly, matching the TMB estimates of uncertainty with the estimates tibble.

  2. This week is going to be documentation week. Please see the FIMS calendar for co-working sessions to help out with converting some Google Docs to markdown files.

  3. There are lots of issues marked under the CIE Review Milestone. Please feel free to sign up for any that you can accomplish by September 30, 2025.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Thanks to Bai’s recent PR that revamped the lists of lists for running a model into a tibble the amount of code needed to run a default model is even less. Check out the revamped fims-demo-minimal below!

data_4_model <- FIMSFrame(data1)
# Create parameters
parameters <- data_4_model |>
  create_default_configurations() |>
  create_default_parameters(data = data_4_model)
# Run the  model with optimization
fit <- parameters |>
  initialize_fims(data = data_4_model) |>
  fit_fims(optimize = TRUE)
