Dear SS3 team,
In order to work on an MSE (management strategy evaluation), I am
doing the exercise of taking the output file (data_expval.ss) and
using it as the input data file (naming it as ss3.dat). When I compare
the original results to these "re-fitted" results, there is
a quite high bias, up to a 20% for the las year SSB. I checked for
convergence issues, and I did the jittering exercise, but it seems
there is are no convergece problems. I also simulated some error to
add to the data_expval.ss values, but the biased results remain
similar.
Is this bias something expected or can it be related to the SS model configuration?
I attach a figure comparing results and the model files.
Thank you!
