'MOM'An object containing all the parameters needed to control a multi-stock, multi-fleet MSE which can be build from component Stock, Fleet, Obs, and Imp objects.
NameName of the operating model
AgencyName of the agency responsible for the management of the fishery. Character string
RegionName of the general geographic region of the fishery. Character string
SponsorName of the organization who sponsored the OM. Character string
LatitudeLatitude (decimal degrees). Negative values represent the South of the Equator. Numeric. Single value
LongitudeLongitude (decimal degrees). Negative values represent the West of the Prime Meridian. Numeric. Single value
nsimThe number of simulations
proyearsThe number of projected years
intervalThe assessment interval - how often would you like to update the management system?
pstarThe percentile of the sample of the management recommendation for each method
maxFMaximum instantaneous fishing mortality rate that may be simulated for any given age class
repsNumber of samples of the management recommendation for each method. Note that when this is set to 1, the mean value of the data inputs is used.
cparsA hierarchical list nstock then nfleet long of custom parameters. Time series are a matrix nsim rows by nyears columns. Single parameters are a vector nsim long
seedA random seed to ensure users can reproduce results exactly
SourceA reference to a website or article from which parameters were taken to define the operating model
StocksList of stock objects
FleetsList of Fleet objects
ObsHierarchical List of Observation model objects Level 1 is stock, level 2 is fleet
ImpsHierarchical List of Implementation model objects Level 1 is stock, level 2 is fleet
CatchFracA list nstock long, of matrices nsim x nfleet representing the fraction of current catches of the various fleets to each stock (each matrix is nsim by nfleet long and rows sum to 1 for each stock)
AllocationA list nstock long, of matrices nsim x nfleet representing the fraction of future TACs of the various fleets to each stock (each matrix is nsim by nfleet long and rows sum to 1 for each stock).
EfactorA list nstock long, of current effort factors by fleet (default is 1 - same as current effort)
ComplexesA list of stock complexes. Each position is a vector of stock numbers (as they appear in StockPars) for which data should be aggregated and TAC recommendations split among stocks according to vulnerable biomass
SexParsA list of slots that control sex-specific dynamics
RelA list of biological / ecological relationships among stocks over-ridden if an MP of class 'MP_F" is supplied that is a multi-fleet MP.
Objects can be created by calls of the form
new('MOM', Stock_list, Fleet_list, Obs_list, Imp_list).
Almost all of these inputs are a vector of length 2 which describes the upper and lower bounds of a uniform distribution from which to sample the parameter.
