Create a dataset of DEPM parameters to be passed to Estimate_biomass()

Combine all of the estimates determined from DEPM parameter functions in this package. The structure of this object is compatible with the Estimate_biomass() function to facilitate its use. If multiple time steps/Regions are included then parameters specific to those surveys will be combined. Parameters that are used across years (for example a constant sex ratio) will automatically be included for each survey even if other parameters are being specified for specific steps/Regions. Mean Weight and mean fecundity are only required if using the standard DEPM approach that does not require weight bins.

combine_estimates(P0, A, R, S, W_F = NULL)

Arguments

P0	The results of Estimate_P0() which can include several egg mortalities (Z). Can be specified for each Time/Region combination if necessary
A	A data.frame of spawning area in meters^2. Can be specified for each Time/Region combination if necessary
R	The results of Estimate_sex_ratio(). Can be specified for each Time/Region combination if necessary
S	The results of Estimate_Spawning_fraction(). Can be specified for each Time/Region combination if necessary
W_F	The results of Estimate_mean_W_F(). This is optional and only required if using the standard DEPM methods. Can be specified for each Time/Region combination if necessary

Value

A data.frame of DEPM parameters compatible with the Estimate_biomass() function
