[FLR-list] Use of FLQuantPoint

[Mark Payne]

Hi,

I am a bit confused about the intended use of FLQuantPoints. The FLSAM assessment model returns the confidence intervals for nearly everything that it calculates, including, for example, the ssb. I am trying to write an accessor function that will return the ssb as an FLQuantPoint object. The problem is that the confidence intervals for this value are asymmetric, so it's not sufficient just to return the mean and the variance. I was wondering what the intention for the uppq and lowq dimension was? Is this the appropriate place to store the estimated confidence bounds? Or are they solely for cases where you have a large distribution that you are trying to characteriste non-parametrically ie through median and the quartiles...

Second question - is there a plural class, FLQuantPoints? I can't seem to find one at the moment....
