Utility functions for MSE objects

Usage

checkMSE(MSEobj)

addMPs(MSEobjs)

joinMSE(MSEobjs = NULL)

joinHist(Hist_List)

updateMSE(MSEobj, save.name = NULL)

MSEobj: A MSE object
MSEobjs: A list of MSE objects
Hist_List: A list of objects of class Hist
save.name: Character string. Optional file name to save the updated MSE object to disk.

An object of class MSE

A new object of class Hist

checkMSE(): Check that an MSE object includes all slots in the latest version of DLMtool
addMPs(): Adds additional MPs to an MSE object by combining multiple MSE objects that have identical historical OM values but different MPs.
joinMSE(): Joins two or more MSE objects together across simulations. MSE objects must have identical number of historical years, and projection years.
joinHist(): Join objects of class Hist. Does not join slot OM
updateMSE(): Updates an existing MSE object (class MSE) from a previous version of the MSEtool to include slots new to the latest version. Also works with Stock, Fleet, Obs, Imp, and Data objects. The new slots will be empty, but avoids the 'slot doesn't exist' error that sometimes occurs. Returns an object of class matching class(MSEobj)
