Three system characteristics of the Operating Model and the Observation Error Model are likely to have the greatest influence in the performance of an MP: scale, noise and trend. The strategy for development of an MP described here tries to ensure that a realistic range of options for those three quantities are present in the OM set. Metrics that represent those three characteristics are described, but their suitability and usefulness needs further investigation.
Model runs have been selected based on four criteria realted to their fit to the data, predicition skill, and ability to explain recent catches. A large proportion of model runs did not pass these tests. Finally, the remnaining runs were resampled using sampling weights based on their predicditon skill for the two CPUE indices to be used in future projections.
