Takes Stock Synthesis
.ctl
and forecast.ss
files, along with
a list structure which houses the data file as read in by
r4ss::SS_readdat()
and changes which parameters are estimated, how natural mortality is
estimated, and if forecasts are performed. The function can be called by
itself or within run_ss3sim()
to alter an estimation model
.ctl
file.

ctl_file_in = "em.ctl",

A string providing the path to the input Stock Synthesis .ctl
file.
A string providing the path to the output Stock Synthesis control file. If the value is NULL
, the file will not be written to the disk.
A Stock Synthesis data list object as read in from
SS_readdat
.
Be sure to correctly specify which section of the data file you want
to work with when reading it in using the section
argument.
Where, section = 1
reads in the input values used to run the model
and section = 2
reads in the expected values generated given all the
input to the OM. section = 3
is not used within ss3sim, but this
section provides bootstrapped data sets that have been sampled internally
within SS.
A string providing the path to the input SS
forecast.ss
file.
A vector of character values corresponding to parameter
names that you wish to initialize at different values or change the phase
in which they are estimated. Entries are searched for in
ctl_file_in
, and therefore, it is best to use full parameter
names as they are specified in the file.
A vector of initial values, one for each entry in
par_name
. Values of NA
leave the INIT value for
that parameter at the value found in the .ctl
file.
A vector of phase values, one for each parameter in
par_name
. Values can be NA
if you do not wish to change
the phase for a given parameter. Negative values will fix the parameter
at the INIT value.
Number of years to perform forecasts. For those years,
the data will be removed from the dat_list
, enabling Stock Synthesis to
generate forecasts rather than use the data to fit the model.
When TRUE
messages will be returned
from the function. Often useful for debugging. The default
is FALSE
.
Altered versions of Stock Synthesis .ctl
and forecast.ss
files are written
to the disk and the altered dat_list
is returned invisibly.
