\usage{
saem(object, control, ...)

\method{saem}{mmkin}(
  object,
  control = list(displayProgress = FALSE, print = FALSE, save = FALSE, save.graphs =
    FALSE),
  cores = 1,
  verbose = FALSE,
  suppressPlot = TRUE,
  ...
)

saemix_model(object, cores = 1, verbose = FALSE, ...)

saemix_data(object, verbose = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{An \link{mmkin} row object containing several fits of the same
\link{mkinmod} model to different datasets}

\item{control}{Passed to \link[saemix:saemix]{saemix::saemix}}

\item{\dots}{Further parameters passed to \link[saemix:saemixData]{saemix::saemixData}
and \link[saemix:saemixModel]{saemix::saemixModel}.}

\item{cores}{The number of cores to be used for multicore processing using
\code{\link[parallel:mclapply]{parallel::mclapply()}}. Using more than 1 core is experimental and may
lead to uncontrolled forking, apparently depending on the BLAS version
used.}

\item{verbose}{Should we print information about created objects?}

\item{suppressPlot}{Should we suppress any plotting that is done
by the saemix function?}
}
\value{
An \link[saemix:SaemixObject-class]{saemix::SaemixObject}.

An \link[saemix:SaemixModel-class]{saemix::SaemixModel} object.

An \link[saemix:SaemixData-class]{saemix::SaemixData} object.
}
\description{
This function uses \code{\link[saemix:saemix]{saemix::saemix()}} as a backend for fitting nonlinear mixed
effects models created from \link{mmkin} row objects using the stochastic approximation
to the expectation maximisation algorithm (SAEM).
}
\details{
An mmkin row object is essentially a list of mkinfit objects that have been
obtained by fitting the same model to a list of datasets using \link{mkinfit}.

Starting values for the fixed effects (population mean parameters, argument
psi0 of \code{\link[saemix:saemixModel]{saemix::saemixModel()}} are the mean values of the parameters found
using \link{mmkin}.
