simulate() in glmmadmb / further glmmadmb development

[florianhartig]

Hi Ben,

wrt florianhartig/DHARMa#19 , I was wondering

• are there any plans to implement a simulate() option in glmmadmb?
• in general, do you plan to continue developing glmmadmb , or are you concentrating your efforts on glmmTMB at the moment? And if so, would you generally suggest that glmmadmb users switch over to glmmTMB?

Thanks, F

At this point I don't see much point in further development of glmmADMB - I don't want to abandon any users, so I'll continue to fix bugs, but glmmTMB seems to me to dominate glmmADMB (more flexible, faster, available from CRAN, larger group of maintainers ...). So yes, I would generally suggest that people switch. If there are counterarguments, I'm happy to hear them. (I hope to work on emmeans etc. support for glmmTMB very soon ...)

Excellent, what I thought. Thanks for the advice! Best, F
