Repository for evaluation of VAST package for single and multispecies spatial delta-generalized linear mixed models (delta-GLMM). The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate differences in indices and uncertainty estimates generated by VAST and design-based estimators, for a range of species in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Test_Parallel | Example of how to create wrapper function to run VAST models in parallel across species. |
Test_Obs_Model | Evaluation of differences in VAST model results for example species, with different observation models. |
Test_DesignBased_Estimator | Simple comparison of design-based and VAST model-based indices across years and species. |
Test_Knot_Number | Script to run comparison of VAST indices with differing levels of spatial complexity, as specified by the number of "knots". |
Test_Autoregressive | Compares influence of different autoregressive structures for VAST model parameters over time. |
Test_DeltaModel | Script to generate stratified Delta model biomass indices, and compare with design-based estimates. |
