Comparison of weights between the ADF&G model and the Bayesian model.

The first column lists the weights used in the ADF&G weighted least squares model (λ), the second column shows those weights converted to standard errors (σ) (Francis, 2011), and the third column shows the coefficients of variation (CV) used in the Bayesian model for the same data. Median and 95% posterior intervals are shown for the ADF&G hydroacoustic biomass and milt CVs. Sample errors were provided for the years that the egg-deposition survey ran (Eq 1.13), which were combined with the assumed value of additional error (0.40; Eq 3.14) to derive total egg deposition CV. Therefore, the median total CV across the survey years is presented for comparison.
