optimSAM | R Documentation |
Estimating the parameters of statistical age models, including the common age model (COM), the central age model (CAM), the minimum age model (MAM), the maximum age model (MXAM), and the finite mixture age model (FMM), using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method.
optimSAM(EDdata, model = "cam", addsigma = 0, iflog = TRUE, maxcomp = 6)
