FSAWs

This is the github page for the FSAWs package for R developed by Derek Ogle at Northland College. This package contains functions for constructing and validating standard weight (Ws) equations for fish that were originally in the FSA package.

Installation

This package can be installed from github to your R with the following code

if (!require('devtools')) install.packages('devtools'); require('devtools')
devtools::install_github('FSA','droglenc')
devtools::install_github('FSAWs','droglenc')

Descriptions of recent changes can be found in the News.md file
