DLMtool (version 3.2.3)

SBT1: SBT simple MP

Description

An MP that makes incremental adjustments to TAC recommendations based on the apparent trend in CPUE

Usage

SBT1(x, DLM_data, reps = 100, yrsmth=10, k1=1.5, k2=3, gamma=1)

Arguments

x

A position in a data-limited methods data object

DLM_data

A data-limited methods data object

reps

The number of samples of the TAC

yrsmth

The number of years for evaluating trend in relative abundance indices

k1

Control parameter

k2

Control parameter

gamma

Control parameter

Details

This isn't exactly the same as the proposed methods and is stochastic in this implementation. The method doesn't tend to work too well under many circumstances possibly due to the lack of 'tuning' that occurs in the real SBT assessment environment. You could try asking Rich Hillary at CSIRO about this approach.
