MARSS (version 3.1)

graywhales: Population Data Sets

Description

Example data sets for use in MARSS PVA vignettes in the MARSS-package user guide. All are UNLOGGED population counts. The data sets are matrices with year in the first column and counts in other columns. Since MARSS functions require time to be across columns, these data matrices must be transposed before passing into MARSS functions.

Usage
