The comparisons are between predictions of the initial QS allocation using the data set
that was used in the earlier analyses and the actual initial allocation of QS. (4) Recall that several types of entities can hold QS.
The terms "residence," "resident-type," or "resident-category" are used herein as
classifications based upon the entity's address even when the entity is not a natural
person. The addresses are the addresses provided in the NMFS-RAM initial allocation
file or the NMFS data file used for the NPFMC's IFQ studies.
