Description

It'd be great if bbmle supported estimation with frequency weights, specifically for the formula interface to mle2()

I tried to figure out a way to shoehorn them in and failed.

In principle it's a simple change to the log-likelihood calculation, but there's a fair bit of plumbing to do.

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated, thank you!

Research direction

Start at the formula interface for mle2() and trace how the log-likelihood is assembled. Identify the plumbing needed to accept frequency weights and verify that weighted estimation works through this interface.
