Recruitment deviations variance check.
See later figure of transformed variance values for comparison with bias adjustment settings in the model.

Points are transformed variances. Red line shows current settings for bias adjustment specified in control file. Blue line shows least squares estimate of alternative bias adjustment relationship for recruitment deviations (which may or may not be an improvement. For more information, see
