AgeComp


Age comps, aggregated across time by fleet.
Labels 'retained' and 'discard' indicate discarded or retained sampled for each fleet. Panels without this designation represent the whole catch.

Pearson residuals, comparing across fleets
Closed bubbles are positive residuals (observed > expected) and open bubbles are negative residuals (observed < expected).

Age comps, whole catch, Survey (plot 1 of 2).

'N input' is the input sample size. 'N adj.' is the sample size after adjustment by the Dirichlet-Multinomial Θ parameter based on the formula N adj. = 1 / (1+Θ) + N * Θ / (1+Θ).

For this fleet, Θ = 0.569 and the sample size multiplier is approximately Θ / (1+Θ) = 0.363

WARNING: this figure is based on multinomial likelihood and has not been updated to account for Dirichlet-Multinomial likelihood and the sample size adjustment associated with the estimated log(Θ) parameters.

Mean age for Survey with 95% confidence intervals based on current samples sizes.
Francis data weighting method TA1.8: thinner intervals (with capped ends) show result of further adjusting sample sizes based on suggested multiplier (with 95% interval) for age data from Survey:
0.2902 (0.1881-0.5609)
