select_ogive: Selectivity patterns

Description

Based on a few parameters, this function estimates the fraction per length group retained in the net. Different selection curves can be used for the estimation.

Usage

select_ogive(s_list, Lt, Lc = NA)

Arguments

s_list

a list with selectivity parameters dependent on the type of selection curve:

• selecType type of selection curve used for estimation (options: "knife_edge", "trawl_ogive", "lognormal", "normal_fixed"),

• Lc length-at-first-capture (also called L50),

• meshSizes a vector with mesh sizes in increasing order,

• select_p1 selectivity parameter 1 (see Millar and Holst (1997)),

• select_p2 selectivity parameter 2 (see Millar and Holst (1997)),

• L75 length at which individuals are caught with a probability of 75

Lt

a vector with lengths corresponding to age classes

Lc

length-at-first-capture (Default: NA)

Details

This function is embedded within predict_mod. selecType "knife_edge" only requires a Lc value. "trawl_ogive" requires a Lc (L50) and a L75 value. "lognormal" requires two mesh sizes, an estimate of mu and of sigma. "normal_fixed" requires two mesh sizes with an estimate of the selection factor (SF) and an estimate of sigma.
