ExampleData.Fading: Example data for feldspar fading measurements

Description

Example data set for fading measurements of the IR50, IR100, IR150 and IR225 feldspar signals of sample UNIL/NB123. It further contains regular equivalent dose measurement data of the same sample, which can be used to apply a fading correction to.

Arguments

Format

A list with two elements, each containing a further list of data.frames containing the data on the fading and equivalent dose measurements:

$fading.data: A named list of data.frames, each having three named columns (LxTx, LxTx.error, timeSinceIrradiation). ..$IR50: Fading data of the IR50 signal. ..$IR100: Fading data of the IR100 signal. ..$IR150: Fading data of the IR150 signal. ..$IR225: Fading data of the IR225 signal.

$equivalentDose.data: A named of data.frames, each having three named columns (dose, LxTx, LxTx.error). ..$IR50: Equivalent dose measurement data of the IR50 signal. ..$IR100: Equivalent dose measurement data of the IR100 signal. ..$IR150: Equivalent dose measurement data of the IR150 signal. ..$IR225: Equivalent dose measurement data of the IR225 signal.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
## Load example data
data("ExampleData.Fading", envir = environment())

## Get fading measurement data of the IR50 signal
IR50_fading <- ExampleData.Fading$fading.data$IR50
head(IR50_fading)

## Determine g-value and rho' for the IR50 signal
IR50_fading.res <- analyse_FadingMeasurement(IR50_fading)

## Show g-value and rho' results
gval <- get_RLum(IR50_fading.res)
rhop <- get_RLum(IR50_fading.res, "rho_prime")

gval
rhop

## Get LxTx values of the IR50 DE measurement
IR50_De.LxTx <- ExampleData.Fading$equivalentDose.data$IR50

## Calculate the De of the IR50 signal
IR50_De <- plot_GrowthCurve(IR50_De.LxTx,
                                mode = "interpolation",
                                fit.method = "EXP")

## Extract the calculated De and its error
IR50_De.res <- get_RLum(IR50_De)
De <- c(IR50_De.res$De, IR50_De.res$De.Error)

## Apply fading correction (age conversion greatly simplified)
IR50_Age <- De / 7.00
IR50_Age.corr <- calc_FadingCorr(IR50_Age, g_value = IR50_fading.res)
