Can sraplus support stock-specific effort and priors?

[arni-magnusson]

Hi,

I am experimenting with supplying stock-specific effort data and stock-specific priors to an sraplus analysis. To make things easy to refer to, I have organized the experiment on two branches:

• stocks_pooled
• stocks_separated

The only difference is in the data.R script. On the stocks_pooled branch, format_driors has effort data as a single vector (shared by all stocks) and priors as single numbers (shared by all stocks). In contrast, on the stocks_separate branch, format_driors has effort data as a tibble (each column is one stock) and priors as a vector (each element is one stock).

Problems seem to arise in two places:

1. On the stocks_separated branch in the data.R script, the plot_driors call raises an error: Error: All columns must be atomic vectors or lists. Problem with column 3.
2. On the stocks_separated branch in the model.R script, the fit_sraplus call doesn't run the model. Instead of raising an error message, it does nothing.

If this is a known and expected behavior, a follow-up question is whether we can expect to see sraplus support for stock-specific effort and priors in the future?

Thanks,
Arni
