Get a vector of data to be passed to a FIMS module from a FIMSFrame object

Source: R/fimsframe.R
m_.Rd

There is an accessor function for each data type needed to run a FIMS model. A FIMS model accepts vectors of data and thus each of the m_*() functions, where the star can be replaced with the data type separated by underscores, e.g., weight_at_age. These accessor functions are the preferred way to pass data to a FIMS module because the data will have the appropriate indexing.

Usage

m_landings(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_landings(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_landings(x, fleet_name)

m_index(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_index(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_index(x, fleet_name)

m_agecomp(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_agecomp(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_agecomp(x, fleet_name)

m_lengthcomp(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_lengthcomp(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_lengthcomp(x, fleet_name)

m_weight_at_age(x)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_weight_at_age(x)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_weight_at_age(x)

m_age_to_length_conversion(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'FIMSFrame'
m_age_to_length_conversion(x, fleet_name)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
m_age_to_length_conversion(x, fleet_name)

Arguments

x

An object returned from FIMSFrame().

fleet_name

A string, or vector of strings, specifying the name of the fleet(s) of interest that you want landings data for. The strings must exactly match strings in the column "name" of get_data(x).

Value

All of the m_*() functions return vectors of data. Currently, the order of the data is the same order as the data frame because no arranging is done in FIMSFrame() and the function just extracts the appropriate column.

Details

Age-to-length-conversion data, i.e., the proportion of age "a" that are length "l", are used to convert lengths (input data) to ages (modeled) as a way to fit length data without estimating growth.
