[erosquesada]

output from WGRDBES-EST 2023.

This function requires to the user to specify an RDBES object. Additionally the user may specify a subset of biological variable of interest between: Length, Weight, Age, Sex, Maturity. The user may also defines a factor to split the data.

• RDBESobj = RDBESobject to be explored.
• var = one of Length, Weight, Age, Sex, Maturity.
• by = One (or more) factor(s) to split the data.
• year = year(s) to filter the data.
• output_type = one of table | plot.
  This function will produce results depending on the hierarchies. Accordingly, the function provides information on:

i. n individuals measured.
ii. n individuals weighted.
iii. n individuals aged.

The output can be reduced by selecting specific variables of interest. The output may be splitted as well by factors of interest. When output_type == “plot” the functions output is a density / histogram plot. A ribbon stating additional summary statistics (mean, sd, median, IQR… ).
When output_type == “table” the function output is a table.
