Predict Recruitment

Description

Predict adjusted recruitment by year using DeCesare et al. (2012) methods. If year is FALSE, predictions are made for a 'typical' year. See bb_predict_calf_cow_ratio() for unadjusted recruitment.

Usage

bb_predict_recruitment(
  recruitment,
  year = TRUE,
  sex_ratio = 0.5,
  conf_level = 0.95,
  estimate = median,
  sig_fig = 3
)

Arguments

recruitment	An object of class 'bboufit_recruitment' (output of bb_fit_recruitment())
year	A flag indicating whether to predict by year.
sex_ratio	A number between 0 and 1 of the proportion of females at birth.
conf_level	A number between 0 and 1 of the confidence level.
estimate	A function to calculate the estimate.
sig_fig	A whole number of the significant figures to round estimates by.

Value

A tibble of the predicted estimates.
