MLZ is a R package that facilitates data preparation and estimation of mortality with statistical diagnostics using the mean length-based mortality estimator and several extensions.
After installation, an overview of the main features of the package can be found in the vignette:
library(MLZ)
vignette("MLZ")Currently, the package is in active development, version 0.1.1. Testing, reporting issues, and pull requests are welcome.
The package is available on CRAN:
install.packages("MLZ")The development source code can also be downloaded and installed with
the devtools package:
devtools::install_github("quang-huynh/MLZ")Since the estimation models are written in TMB, Rtools is required on a Windows machine for installation from the source package. Rtools can be downloaded here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/index.html.
