Description

Perform a retrospective analysis, successive removals of most recent years of data to evaluate resulting parameter estimates.

Usage

retrospective(x, ...)
# S4 method for Assessment
retrospective(x, nyr = 5, figure = TRUE)
# S4 method for RCModel
retrospective(x, nyr = 5, figure = TRUE)

Value

A list with an array of model output and of model estimates from the retrospective analysis.

Figures showing the time series of biomass and exploitation and parameter estimates with successive number of years removed. For a variety of time series output (SSB, recruitment, etc.) and estimates (R0, steepness, etc.), also returns a matrix of Mohn's rho (Mohn 1999).

Arguments

x

An S4 object of class Assessment or RCModel.
