glmmTMB: the flexible and fast package for fitting generalized linear mixed models

February's Eco-stats lab was about the R package glmmTMB for general linear mixed models. glmmTMB is considerably faster and more stable than lme4 while retaining the same syntax as lme4. It offers more distributions such as negative binomial or Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution for overdispersed counts and provides extensions of GLMMs. Check out the slides to see some examples of what can be done.
