Primary LanguageR

This repository contains model code and analysis for the paper:

Monnahan, C. C. and I. J. Stewart. 2018. The effect of hook spacing on longline catch rates: Implications for catch rate standardization. Fisheries Research 198:150-158.

The original data are confidential, but we arranged this analysis to be reproducible with a simulated data set. This should allow interested readers to adapt and extend the framework used here from a working example.

To recreate the analysis, download or clone and open the R script run_analysis.R and walk through steps sequentially, following specific instructions. All tools used here are open source and freely available.
