R2.3 - further explanation re: sea-ice concentration as a predictor #42

Closed jmlondon closed 2 months ago

jmlondon commented 1 year ago

The modeling efforts are rigorous and robust, improving on previous modeling work. I still had one remaining question on why the authors couldn't run the models with and without the sea ice concentration as a predictor. The comparative results might be interesting (I understand why the correction factor might be biased...but given that this is a baseline study, it would have been an interesting comparison to see whether it was or wasn't a decent predictor for the different seal species).
