\myparagraph{Pattern 11 (size or age) - Selectivity = 1.0 for range}
Length- or age-selectivity can be set equal to 1.0 for a range of lengths or ages. If the selectivity is length-based the input parameters should match the population length bin number that will have selectivity = 1.0. A simple example how this works is as follows:
Length- or age-selectivity can be set equal to 1.0 for a range of lengths or ages. Like other selectivity types, it is specified in terms of the population, not the data bins.

For age-based selectivity, parameters p1 and p2 are set in terms of population age. For example, p1 = 0 and p2 = 4 would mean selectivity of 1.0 for age-0, age-1, age-2, age-3, and age-4 fish. These parameters must be less than or equal to the maximum age, not the maximum age bin. All ages before and after p1 and p2 have selectivity equal to 0.

If the selectivity is length-based, the input parameters should match the population length bin \textbf{number} that will have selectivity = 1.0. A simple example how this works is as follows:

\begin{longtable}{p{4cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm} p{0.9cm}}

\item All length bins before and after p1 and p2 will be set near zero (1e-010).

The age-selectivity approach follows that detailed above for length-selectivity but is more intuitive since parameter p1 and p2 is set in terms of population age.

\myparagraph{Pattern 14 (age) - Revise Age}
Age-selectivity pattern 14 to allow selectivity-at-age to be the same as selectivity at the next younger age. When using this option, the range on each parameter should be approximately -5 to 9 to prevent the parameters from drifting into extreme values with nil gradient. The age-based selectivity is calculated as $a = 1$ to $a = Amax + 1$:
