Add external reference points to an FLBRP object

Description

Reference points computed outside of FLBRP can be added to the @refpts slot of an FLBRP object. A subsequent call to brp() will compute all other quantities related to this reference point.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'FLBRP,FLPar'
e1 + e2

Arguments

e1

A FLBRP object

e2

A FLPar containing a set of reference points.

Details

The reference points to be added are passed as an FLPar object. Names of these reference points need to follow this convention:

  • For SSB reference points, name should strat with "B", e.g. "Blim".

  • For F reference points, first letter must be "F", e.g. "Fmsy".

  • Yield reference points should start with "C", e.g. "Cpa".

  • For recruitment reference points, use "R" as starting letter, e.g. "R0".

Value

A FLBRP object with the added and calculated reference points.

Fit an FLBRP object

Description

This method carries out the necessary calculation to obtain the reference points for an object of class FLBRP. Results of the calculation are stored in ⁠@refpts⁠ slot of the object, and the object is then returned.

To directly obtain the recalculated refpts slot of an FLBRP object, the computeRefpts method can be used. This is equivalent to fitting the object using brp and then extracting the ⁠@refpts⁠ slot.

The plot method for the FLBRP class will show the relationship between equilibrium SSB, Yield and Profit against levels of fishing mortality and that of recruitment, Yield and profit against SSB.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'FLBRP'
brp(object)

## S4 method for signature 'FLBRP'
computeRefpts(object)

## S4 method for signature 'FLBRP,missing'
plot(
  x,
  refpts = dimnames(x@refpts)$refpt,
  obs = FALSE,
  labels = TRUE,
  shapes = "missing",
  colours = "missing",
  panels = NULL,
  ncol = 2,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

An object of class FLBRP

x

An object of class FLBRP

refpts

Reference points to include, defaults to all in standard refpts slot bu virgin. A vector of class character

obs

Should observations be plotted? Defaults to FALSE.

The FLR class for biological and economic reference points

Description

Estimation of equilibirum reference points on the results obtained from fitting a population model can be carried out using the FLBRP class. Objects of this classs contain the information necessary for the calculation of population and fisheries quantities (abundance, catches, ...) under a range of levels of fishing mortality ('F'). From these, the values of those quantities that maximize or minimize the values of different indicators can be calculated.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'missing,missing'
FLBRP(
  ...,
  model = formula(rec ~ a),
  params = FLPar(1, params = "a"),
  fbar = FLQuant(seq(0, 4, length.out = 101), quant = "age")
)

Details

The most common input for the calculation of reference points is the result of an stock assessment model fit, usually provided as two objects of class FLStock and FLSR.

Slots

model

The formula for the stock-recruitment model, ⁠formula,⁠.

params

Parameters of the stock-recruitment relationship, ⁠FLPar,⁠.

Validity

.obs slots dims 1:5

Slots containing observations, named *.obs, must share dimensions 1 to 5

by-age slots dims 1:5

Slots containing vectors of values at age, must share dimensions 1 to 5

You can inspect the class validity function by using getValidity(getClassDef('FLBRP'))

Accessors

All slots in the class have accessor and replacement methods defined that allow retrieving and substituting individual slots.

The values passed for replacement need to be of the class of that slot. A numeric vector can also be used when replacing FLQuant slots, and the vector will be used to substitute the values in the slot, but not its other attributes.

Constructor

A construction method exists for this class that can take named arguments for any of its slots. All slots are then created to match the requirements of the class validity. If an unnamed FLQuant object is provided, this is used for sizing but not stored in any slot.

A standard method also exists for object of class FLStock, with or without additional information on the stock-recruits relationship. This can be provided as an object of class FLSR, one of class predictModel or as a list wqith elements named 'params', of class FLPar, and 'model', of class formula.

Methods

Methods exist for various calculations based on values stored in the class:
