follows the ICES Technical Guidelines ICES,
2025.
The package documentation contains help files for its functions which
also include code examples. See help(package = "cat3advice") for
available functions.
The main functions are rfb(), rb(), and chr(). Each of these
functions has a help file with code examples (see ?rfb, ?rb ?chr).
A detailed vignette with code examples is included in the package
vignette("cat3advice", package = "cat3advice"). The vignette is also
available on
GitHub.
The easiest way to install the cat3advice package is to install it as
a binary package from ICES
r-universe:
install.packages("cat3advice", repos = c("https://ices-tools-prod.r-universe.dev", "https://cran.r-project.org"))It is also possible to install it directly from the GitHub repository.
However, this means building the package locally and requires the
necessary build tools (e.g. on Windows RTools
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and the devtools R
package).
