STATCAM
is a statistical catch-at-age model. It is a likelihood-based
assessment model for joint analyses of age-specific fishery and survey
data. Age-structured population stock dynamics are modeled
using standard forward-projection methods for statistical catch-at-age
analyses. The population dynamics model is fit to observed fishery and
survey data using an iterative maximum likelihood estimation
approach.
The calculation engine was developed by Dr. Jon Brodziak, NMFS
Pacific Islands Fishery Science Center, using AD Model Builder.
