Read Var File

Description

Read reference point estimates from the ⁠.var⁠ file.

Usage

read.MFCLVar(varfile)

Arguments

varfile

filename ending with ⁠.var⁠.

Value

Vector of reference point estimates, including standard errors.

Warning

The calculation of the Frecent/Fmsy in the ⁠.var⁠ file is based on a harvest rate approach, comparing catch in tonnes with biomass in tonnes. Importantly, this is different from the calculation of Frecent/Fmsy in the ⁠.rep⁠ file, which uses an instantaneous mortality rate, comparing catch in numbers with population size in numbers.

The choice between reading Frecent/Fmsy from the ⁠.rep⁠ file or the ⁠.var⁠ file should therefore be based on an informed decision, understanding the differences between the two approaches.

Note

The ⁠.var⁠ file is produced by MFCL as a result of delta-method analysis, following Hessian calculations.
