Length Conversion Table (LengthConversionTable)

Description

Length conversion parameters realting different length measurements.

Details

Length conversion factors relating different length measurements, such as 'standard length' and 'fork length' based on a linear regression fit between length measurements: L1 = alpha + beta \* L2, where L1 and L2 are different length measurements and 'alpha' and 'beta' are species-specific coefficients.

data.table with columns:

'Description'

character: Free-text description of the product

'Species'

character: Identifier for the species that the conversion applies to

'MeasurmentType'

character: Identifier for the type of length measurement for the independent variable (L2 above)

'Alpha'

numeric: scalar value representing the intercept (in cm) of a linear regression fit between length measurements.

'Beta'

numeric: scalar value representing the slope of a linear regression fit between length measurements.
