Description

The material type for a log-normal recruitment function is recruitment log-normal.

For this material the recruitment function is given by

\[ F\left(\Xi\right)=1+\frac{r}{2}\text{erfc}\left[-\frac{\ln\left(\Xi/\mu\right)}{\sigma\sqrt{2}}\right]\,. \]

Its minimum value is 1 and its maximum value is \(1+r\) as \(\Xi/\mu\to\infty\).

Example:

<recruitment type="recruitment log-normal">
  <mu>0.3</mu>
  <sigma>0.25</sigma>
  <max>4</max>
</recruitment>
