The Quantitative Fisheries Center (QFC) at Michigan State University has released a set of videos aimed at new users of AD Model Builder. The videos were developed with funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation under a contract with the ADMB foundation. Each video and associated ADMB template and data files are contained within a folder “Current_ADMB_Video_Release” accessible from the link. The entire set of videos and associated files is also accessible in a single zip file but be advised the zip file size is large. If you are interested in the videos we recommend first reading “ADMB Videos – Important Info and Annotated File List.pdf” available at the same location as the videos.
