    <div>Hi,<br>
      <br>
      Yes, that is a problem that we need to sort out. I'm considering
      using midpoints. It has the advantage of being easy to coerce into
      numeric. In most cases that's what one needs for computations.
      Using boundaries will require other(s) operation(s) to get
      midpoints.<br>

            <div>There is an issue, boring but may be important to agree
              on now, i.e. labeling of length bins.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            What does a length bin mean, i.e. if the "quant" dim
            represents length? and the values are 5, 10, ...?<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          In the mixdist package these are the righthand boundaries i.e.
          they represent (0,5] and (5,10]. But if they are the lefthand
          boundaries then they represent (5,10] and (10,INF]. Or they
          could be midpoints. One option would be to explicitly label
          the bins with the boundaries and then have methods for going
          backwards and forwards between parametric and non-parametric
          methods. Or to have an attribute that tracks the properties.<br>

                  Hi FLR-guys,<br>
                  <br>
                  As you know I am not an active FLR user, but last year
                  I showed some interest in whether you have size-based
                  stuff in FLR (see attached email). In the meanwhile
                  Coilin Minto and myself have been working on something
                  (also attached - note this is a draft of the idea; at
                  the moment we are working on the code to get the final
                  graphs out) which we are coding in R but which
                  could/should eventually been done in FLR. Perhaps you
                  are interested.<br>
                  <br>
                  Cheers,<br>

                Hi,<br>
                <br>
                Following Laurie's suggestion I've started a git
                repository for length<br>
                methods in FLRhttps://<a href="http://github.com/ejardim/FLMethLen" target="_blank">github.com/ejardim/FLMethLen</a><br>
                <br>
                Maybe our first task should be o write down what we're
                doing with length<br>
                data. Laurie's working on ALKs, so I guess you're
                interested in<br>
                converting length frequencies to ages for stock
                assessment !? We (a4a)<br>
                are working on OMs and how to generate them from length
                based data so<br>
                that uncertainty on the growth model can be included in
                the MSE. Sarah<br>
                and Colin Minto are working on selectivity. What else ?<br>
                <br>
