Default values

[JonBrodziak]

Are uncertainty ranges available for default/expert-opinion values?

Recommend adding uncertainty or sensitivity information.

I'm not sure how we'd meaningfully quantify these ranges. Suggestions are welcome, though.

FishLife can produce uncertainty estimates for life history parameters. Here's an example of age at maturity for pomfret and lancetfish.

For other parameter types with min and max values, one quarter of the range produces a rule-of-thumb estimate of the standard deviation.

@josephomalley-NOAA I will defer to you on this as the life history expert on our modeling team
