Size at maturity

Here I provide a short code to estimate the size-at-maturity.

Through a generalized linear model under Binomial distribution Bin(n, p) we can estimate the size in which 50% (or other) of population are mature. Such information is pivotal for fishery sciences.

The model needs 3 informations:

  1. the size class, preferably with intervals of same amplitudes;
  2. number of sampled individuals mature by size class;
  3. number of total sampled individuals by size class.

The code also brings a plot (ggplot) and a way to save it in high quality.

Update: I also provided an additional code in order to estimate the size-at-maturity in the Bayesian framework.
