SAAD

<p>Dataset of terrestrial 14C dates for SAAD. Specified by using data from sites falling within the geographically contiguous 'Arid' climatic categories of the SAAD as described in the World K&lt;U+00F6&gt;ppen climate classification (2006).</p>

Provides tools to directly model underlying population dynamics using date datasets (radiocarbon and other) with a Continuous Piecewise Linear (CPL) model framework. Various other model types included. Taphonomic loss included optionally as a power function. Model comparison framework using BIC. Package also calibrates 14C samples, generates Summed Probability Distributions (SPD), and performs SPD simulation analysis to generate a Goodness-of-fit test for the best selected model. Details about the method can be found in Timpson A., Barberena R., Thomas M. G., Mendez C., Manning K. (2020) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2019.0723>.
