Just committed an R script that creates the GOA.SPLIT_FRACTIONS table using gapindex. In this folder of the repo, you'll see the R script that creates a csv file which shows the differences between the biomass output from the current SPLIT_FRACTIONS table (2019-2023) vs those created from gapindex.
Thank you. This looks great. Where will we serve these data from?
I would consider this a non-standard data request and to not support this table in GAP_PRODUCTS going forward. Now that we have an R script that produces the same output using gapindex and GAP_PRODUCTS, it should be very easy to fulfil a request via the data-requests repo by simply changing the arguments in the gapindex::get_data() function OR provide the requesters that R script so they can do it themselves. Do you think either of those avenues are feasible going forward?
In the future, split fractions from GOA will not be necessary because of restratification. Historically, we provided split fractions as a standard product for SAs and AKFIN. With those two bits of information in mind, and given that the requests I was fielding this year were to adjust groupings of rockfishes, I agree that going forward this can be a data request rather than a standard product and thus does not need to be formalized in GAP_PRODUCTS.
Extending the conversation from afsc-gap-products/data-requests#76, putting in a request to use the gapindex R package to recreate the tables in GOA.SPLIT_FRACTIONS.
