The assess methods calls the stock assessment function according to the class of the control object given. Stock assessment methods in FLR generally require a control class that contains all the options the model and its fitting algorithm provide. Classes are specific to each method, so see the relevant help pages for detailed information.

The assess method allows different stock assessment procedures to be carried out in a simulation procedure, or in any other function, by simply altering the control class in the argument list.

This is a generic method to be extended for individual stock assessment models.
