Usage

Arguments

effort

A vector or scalar with the initial fishing effort, see Details below.

params

A MizerParams object.

Details

A valid effort vector is a named vector with one effort value for each gear. However you can also supply the effort value in different ways:

  • a scalar, which is then replicated for each gear

  • an unnamed vector, which is then assumed to be in the same order as the gears in the params object

  • a named vector in which the gear names have a different order than in the params object. This is then sorted correctly.

  • a named vector which only supplies values for some of the gears. The effort for the other gears is then set to the default effort returned by validEffortVector(), which depends on the defaults edition.

These conversions are done by the function validEffortVector().

An effort argument will lead to an error if it is either

  • unnamed and of the wrong length

  • named but where some names do not match any of the gears

  • not numeric
