agesurv {fishmethods} | R Documentation |
Calculates annual survival (S) and instantaneous total mortality rates (Z) from age frequency by using catch curve (ln(numbers) versus age in linear regression), Heincke, and Chapman-Robson methods.
agesurv(age = NULL, full = NULL, last = NULL, estimate = c("s", "z"), method = c("cc", "he", "cr"))
age |
the vector of ages. Each row represents the age of an individual. |
full |
the fully-recruited age |
last |
the maximum age to include in the calculation. If not specified, the oldest age is used. |
estimate |
argument to select estimate type: "s" for annual survival, "z" for instantaneous total mortality. Default is both. |
method |
argument to select the estimation method: "cc" for catch curve, "he" for Heincke, and "cr" for Chapman-Robson. Default is all. |
The individual age data are tabulated and subsetted based on the full
and last
arguments. Most calculations follow
descriptions in Seber(1982), pages 414-418. If only two ages are present, a warning message is generated and
the catch curve method is not calculated. Plus groups are not allowed.
results |
list element containing table of parameters and standard errors. |
data |
