<p>It was always my hope that the Fisheries Stock Assessment (FSA) R package would become a community endeavor. With the recent release on CRAN of v0.8.21 that hope has finally come to fruition. This version has two new co-authors.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://alexisdinno.com/" target="_blank">Alexis Dinno</a> is the author of the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dunn.test/index.html" target="_blank"><strong>dunn.test</strong> package</a>. The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://derekogle.com/FSA/reference/dunnTest.html" target="_blank"><code>dunnTest()</code> function in <strong>FSA</strong></a> is simply a wrapper for <code>dunn.test()</code> in her package. In other words, the foundational “guts” of <code>dunnTest()</code> were written by Alexis. This has been acknowledged in the last several versions of <strong>FSA</strong>, but by including Alexis as a co-author on <strong>FSA</strong> she will finally get some credit whenever <strong>FSA</strong> is cited for <code>dunnTest()</code>.</p>
<p>Powell Wheeler is a fisheries biologist in North Carolina who expanded <a rel="nofollow" href="http://derekogle.com/FSA/reference/removal.html" target="_blank"><code>removal()</code> in FSA</a> by coding the “Burnham method” as implemented in the popular (but compiled and commercial) MicroFish software. Adding this functionality to <strong>FSA</strong> has been on my “to-do list” since receiving a query for it from biologists in Idaho a few years ago. It now finally exists in <strong>FSA</strong>, thanks to Powell’s good work.</p>
<p>Check out the new version of FSA, welcome Alexis and Powell, and thank them for their important contributions to <strong>FSA</strong>.</p>
