Tabulate information from parameter sections in control streams

NMreadInits(file, lines, section, return = "pars", as.fun)

Arguments

file: Path to a control stream. See `lines` too.
lines: A control stream as text lines. Use this or `file`.
section: The section to read. Typically, "theta", "omega", or "sigma". Default is those three.
return: By default (when return="pars", a parameter table with initial values, FIX, lower and upper bounds etc. In most cases, that is what is needed to derive information about parameter definitions. If return="all", two additional tables are returned which can be used if the aim is to modify and write the resulting parameters to a control stream.
as.fun: See ?NMscanData

A `data.frame` with parameter values. If `return="all"`, a list of three tables.
