Design based estimates

[GreatDana]

For these comparisons it may be helpful to exclude 2001 from the Gulf of Alaska design-based estimates as the entire eastern GOA was not sampled. Its good to use it in VAST though because it fills in the missing areas/depth strata.

Excellent suggestion.
I can either: 1) Forego including 2001 in all future figures/summary comparisons, or 2) Add function argument for years to calc design-based index.
Preference?

Since its sort of special case for the GOA in one year, probably just exclude 2001 from the design-based indices, unless a year function might be useful for testing how many survey years make VAST useful? Like is it any good if you just fit 2011-2015 for example? Cheers, Dana
