Resolve a modular selectivity penalty weight vector

resolve_sel_pen_wts.Rd

Converts a user-supplied selectivity penalty weight specification into the complete named weight vector consumed by Get_Selex_Smoothness_Penalty.

Usage

resolve_sel_pen_wts(pen_wts, n_fleets = 1)

Arguments

pen_wts

NULL, or a named numeric vector/list giving independent weights for any subset of "smooth_bin_curve", "smooth_bin_diff", "smooth_yr_diff", "smooth_yr_curve", "smooth_dome", "smooth_mean_center". Any name not supplied defaults to 0. Each weight is either a scalar applied to every year, or a vector with one value per model year, which lets a penalty act only in some years or act with a different strength in each. The list may also have "bin_range", a length-two vector giving the first and last age or length bin the penalties apply over; the default of every bin is what a missing bin_range reproduces.

n_fleets

Integer. Number of fleets the specification covers. A single named specification is applied to every fleet; an unnamed list of length n_fleets gives each fleet its own.

Value

List of length n_fleets. Each element is a named list of length 7: the six penalty terms, each a scalar or a per-year vector, plus bin_range (NULL for all bins).
