[Feature]: Add the ability to calculate indices in terms of numbers #315

Open ChristineStawitz-NOAA opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many indices of abundance are calculated in numbers, but FIMS only calculates indices in biomass

Describe the solution you would like.

Add CalculateAbundanceIndex() to population and a vector to store the abundance index as part of the fleet data

Describe alternatives you have considered

Right now we only have biomass indices, so users would have to externally convert

Statistical validity, if applicable

It's generally considered good statistical practice to fit to the data that are collected

Describe if this is needed for a management application

Many states provide data as numbers

Additional context

I moved this to the Parking Lot because there is a workaround for the case studies, i.e., translate numbers to biomass before creating the data. We can revisit its status on Tuesday when we talk about case-study prioritization.
