estimate_weight_length(
data,
col_length = "length_cm",
col_weight = "weight_kg",
verbose = FALSE

Arguments
- data
A data frame containing empirical weights and lengths from sampled fish. Sexes should be available in the column
sex
orSEX
.- col_length
A numeric or character value specifying the column to use in

Value
A data frame of weight-length parameters by sex.
Parameters A and B are in the appropriate units to input
into Stock Synthesis Wtlen_1_Fem and Wtlen_2_Fem, or
Wtlen_1_Mal and Wtlen_1_Mal, parameters in the
control file. Values of NA
are returned for models that
did not have enough data to properly estimate the parameters.
This will happen when there are no females in your data set,
for example.
