Major improvements
Many new features have been developed previously on the lab and devel branch and not attributed to a specific commit, but are now included as the main version of WHAM
- Large changes in structure of input data, parameters, and reported output may require editing workflows for previous versions.
- 1 or more stocks and regions can now be modeled with movement among regions.
- User can define seasonal intervals within years (possibly varying in length).
- Seasonal operation of fleets.
- Movement parameters are stock, season, and region-to-region specific.
- Movement parameters can incorporate time and age varying random effects and effects of environmental covariates much like natural mortality.
- Priors for mean movement parameters are allowed because it is currently not possible to include tagging data observations.
- Exported functions for components of model (e.g., set_NAA, set_catch, set_M, set_move) can be used build model input sequentially or to modify a previously created input.
- Greatly increased options to functions to allow user to specify initial parameter values and mapping of parameter estimation.
- Random effects options for initial abundance at age.
- Functions to perform jittering (jitter_wham) and self tests (self_test).
- Functions to add reference point estimation (do_reference_points), TMB::sdreport objects (do_sdrep), and retrospective peels (do_retro_peels), and OSA residuals (make_osa_residuals) to a previously fitted model.
- New Rmarkdown based generation of html by plot_wham_output that is self-contained (can be opened from any location).
Minor improvements
- Can now specify fleet-specific catch or F in projection years. f2a298e
- add some more input options for M, catch, indices. d50acc7
Bug fixes
- fix bugs in reporting of NAA re cor parameters in table of estimates and bug in setting covariate effect maps. 0ab78d8
- fix mapping of selectivity RE when selectivity block does not span all years, correct marginal variance used for
basic_info$bias_correct_BRPs=TRUE
in the SSB/R and Y/R calculations when there is AR1 correlation of NAA RE, and correct dimension of recruitment random effects for projection of SCAA models. b031806 - fix bug in use of user-defined waa, maturity in projection years. 24dd1ab
- fix some indexing errors for retros with Ecovs or selectivity RE, fix some setup problems for movement. 2371fc3
- fix specification of initial/fixed M when input M is both age and time varying. 1d637e3
- fix specification of shared fleet selectivity blocks provided by ASAP input. fcbdfca
