MARSS 3.11.6 (GitHub)

This release is focused on adding new method method="TMB" which uses the package {marssTMB}.

• Added methods "TMB", "BFGS_TMB" and "nlminb_TMB" and changed MARSS() to recognize these.
• Added the generic function MARSSfit() and methods for "kem" and "BFGS".
• Added the defaults to R/onLoad.R and made it easier to specify new methods and constraints on methods
• Made changes to checkMARSSinputs.R, is_marssMLE.R and is.validvarcov() so they are not so specific to method="BFGS" but work for any methods with similar constraints.
• Export MARSSvectorizeparam(). Need when writing methods for MARSSfit() generic.
• Added {generics} as a dependency and removed {forecast} and {broom} from Suggests. Cleaned up examples and text throughout to remove references to these packages.

BUGS

• The iterations count for optim() was using number of function calls not number of gradient calls.

OTHER

• Allow toLatex() to output the raw tex so that it can directly go into RMarkdown or Quarto.
• Use match.arg() for form and method.
• Fix typo in DLM chapter re y_1^{t-1}
