appropriate spatial scale and normalization #4

Closed afredston closed 3 years ago

afredston commented 4 years ago

Right now the model uses average biomass in latitudinal bands. Should we be further standardizing by effort? Is this the appropriate spatial scale of analysis?

mpinsky commented 4 years ago

As long as the average biomass includes empty hauls, it should be standardized by effort, right? Though the standard error will be affected by the #hauls.

Finer bands would allow detection of smaller shifts, which may be useful, like 0.5 or 0.25.
