Ben, your plug is welcome. There is a hole to be filled
in this area, and I'm looking forward to checking your
plug for shape and size!

A question or two: I notice that one can get the whole book
in one shot from

  http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/emdbook/book.pdf

rather than piece by piece from the individual chapter
links (though the revision status may differ). But must
one also get the Exercises, R code, Data and Scripts
separately?

And/or can one use wget for it all?

Thanks, Ben, and best wishes for its future!
Ted.

[R] Book for Maximum Likelihood Methods in R

Hi R-guys, 
 
Is there a good book for maximum likelihood methods in R? 
I´m looking mainly to Ecological approaches to apply ML.
 
Any help?

Other useful links (googling maximum likelihood R optim ...)

http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/KB/R/documents/mle/mle.html
ctfs.si.edu/workshopnew/Documentation/sample%20likelihood.doc

  As is often the case, it would also help if you gave
more detail about what you wanted to do -- probably the
majority of modern statistical methods use maximum
likelihood in one format or another ...

  cheers
