  The Stock Assessment Continuum Tool was developed by Dr.
  Jason Cope (NWFSC - NOAA) and uses Stock Synthesis (SS3)
  (Methot and Wetzel 2013) to implement a variety of
  assessment configurations. This tool was initially built
  to implement several standard data-limited assessment
  methods within the SS3 modeling framework. Now, it has
  been expanded to be able to implement more complex and
  data-rich configurations. The tool builds Stock Synthesis
  input files for provided data and life history
  information. Under a unified framework, additional data
  and SS3 options can be added as it becomes available,
  either within the tool itself, if that feature would be
  useful to the wider community of stock assessment
  scientists, or options can be changed directly in the
  Stock Synthesis input files (example input files used by
  the tool found here). It produces full plots and tables
  for each model run via the r4ss package and additional
  screen output for straightforward interpretation. The
  Stock Synthesis team endorses this tool as a way to help
  users provide input data and model settings rather than
  changing the SS3 text-based input files directly.
