The runMP function can be used to apply a MP to a Data object. For example, to apply the AvC method:

runMP(Atlantic_mackerel, "AvC", reps=1000)

## Attempting to run 1 MPs:

## AvC

##       TAC
## AvC 24.83

The runMP prints out the MP recommendations to the console. In the case of a TAC, where multiple repititions where (see reps = 1000 above) used the runMP function prints the median TAC recommendation.

Although it only displays a summary, runMP invisibly returns the Data object with the TAC slot populated:

Recs <- runMP(Atlantic_mackerel, "AvC")

## Attempting to run 1 MPs:

## AvC

##       TAC
## AvC 24.54

hist(Recs@TAC)

runMP can be used to run several MPs:

runMP(Atlantic_mackerel, c("AvC", "AvC_MLL"))

## Attempting to run 2 MPs:

## AvC

## AvC_MLL

##          TAC   LR5 LFR
## AvC     25.1          
## AvC_MLL 25.1 90.25  95

Or all available MPs:

Atlantic_mackerel <- runMP(Atlantic_mackerel, reps=1000, chkMPs=TRUE, silent=TRUE)

The TAC recommendations from each Output control can be plotted:

boxplot(Atlantic_mackerel)
