Counts the number of interviews for each fishing method within each calendar month. Method is taken from the column set via add_interviews(angler_method = ...).

Usage

summarize_by_method(design)

Arguments

design

A creel_design object with interviews attached and angler_method column set via add_interviews(angler_method = ...).

Value

A data.frame with class c("creel_summary_method", "data.frame") and columns: month, method, N, percent.

Details

Interview-based summary, not pressure-weighted. This function tabulates raw interview records without applying survey weighting by sampling effort or effort stratum. For pressure-weighted extrapolated estimates, use estimate_catch_rate or estimate_harvest_rate.

Examples

data(example_calendar)
data(example_interviews)
d <- creel_design(example_calendar, date = date, strata = day_type)
d <- add_interviews(d, example_interviews,
  catch = catch_total, effort = hours_fished, harvest = catch_kept,
  trip_status = trip_status, angler_method = angler_method
)
#>  No `n_anglers` provided — assuming 1 angler per interview.
#>  Pass `n_anglers = <column>` to use actual party sizes for angler-hour
#>   normalization.
#>  Added 22 interviews: 17 complete (77%), 5 incomplete (23%)
