The R package spmR was developed for doing stock projections for groundfish at the AFSC. The model was coded using Automatic Differentiation Model Builder (ADMB).

The main projection model is inst/admb/spm.tpl. A model run requires spm.dat, tacpar.dat, and a species-specific file containing assessment outputs. The examples directory contains complete example inputs and outputs. ADMB 13.0 or newer is required to compile the model.
