    <dl><dt>objects</dt>
<dd><p>A list of <a href="mmkin.html">mmkin</a> objects containing fits of the same
degradation models to the same data, but using different error models.
Alternatively, a single <a href="mmkin.html">mmkin</a> object containing fits of several
degradation models to the same data</p></dd>


<dt>...</dt>
<dd><p>Further arguments that will be passed to the nonlinear mixed-effects
model fitting function.</p></dd>


<dt>backend</dt>
<dd><p>The backend to be used for fitting. Currently, only saemix is
supported</p></dd>


<dt>algorithm</dt>
<dd><p>The algorithm to be used for fitting (currently not used)</p></dd>


<dt>no_random_effect</dt>
<dd><p>Default is NULL and will be passed to <a href="saem.html">saem</a>. If
you specify "auto", random effects are only included if the number
of datasets in which the parameter passed the t-test is at least 'auto_ranef_threshold'.
Beware that while this may make for convenient model reduction or even
numerical stability of the algorithm, it will likely lead to
underparameterised models.</p></dd>


<dt>auto_ranef_threshold</dt>
<dd><p>See 'no_random_effect.</p></dd>


<dt>cores</dt>
<dd><p>The number of cores to be used for multicore processing. This
is only used when the <code>cluster</code> argument is <code>NULL</code>. On Windows
machines, cores &gt; 1 is not supported, you need to use the <code>cluster</code>
argument to use multiple logical processors. Per default, all cores detected
by <code><a href="https://rdrr.io/r/parallel/detectCores.html" class="external-link">parallel::detectCores()</a></code> are used, except on Windows where the default
is 1.</p></dd>


<dt>cluster</dt>
<dd><p>A cluster as returned by makeCluster to be used for
parallel execution.</p></dd>


<dt>x</dt>
<dd><p>An mhmkin object.</p></dd>


<dt>i</dt>
<dd><p>Row index selecting the fits for specific models</p></dd>


<dt>j</dt>
<dd><p>Column index selecting the fits to specific datasets</p></dd>


<dt>drop</dt>
<dd><p>If FALSE, the method always returns an mhmkin object, otherwise
either a list of fit objects or a single fit object.</p></dd>
