Percentile

Verify single grain data sets and check for invalid grains, i.e. zero-light level grains

This function tries to identify automatically zero-light level curves (grains) from single grain data measurements.

Keywords
manip, datagen
Usage
verify_SingleGrainData(object, threshold = 10, cleanup = FALSE,
cleanup_level = "aliquot", verbose = TRUE, plot = FALSE)
Arguments
object

'>Risoe.BINfileData or '>RLum.Analysis (required): input object. The function also accepts a list with objects of allowed type.

threshold

numeric (with default): numeric threshold value for the allowed difference between the mean and the var of the count values (see details)

cleanup

logical (with default): if set to TRUE curves indentified as zero light level curves are automatically removed. Ouput is an object as same type as the input, i.e. either '>Risoe.BINfileData or '>RLum.Analysis

cleanup_level

character (with default): selects the level for the cleanup of the input data sets. Two options are allowed: "curve" or "aliquot":

• If "curve" is selected every single curve marked as invalid is removed.

• If "aliquot" is selected, curves of one aliquot (grain or disc) can be marked as invalid, but will not be removed. An aliquot will be only removed if all curves of this aliquot are marked as invalid.

verbose

logical (with default): enables or disables the terminal feedback

plot

logical (with default): enables or disables the graphical feedback

Details

How does the method work?

The function compares the expected values ($$E(X)$$) and the variance ($$Var(X)$$) of the count values for each curve. Assuming that the background roughly follows a poisson distribution the absolute difference of both values should be zero or at least around zero as

$$E(x) = Var(x) = \lambda$$

Thus the function checks for:

$$abs(E(x) - Var(x)) >= \Theta$$

With $$\Theta$$ an arbitray, user defined, threshold. Values above the threshold indicating curves comprising a signal.

Note: the absolute difference of $$E(X)$$ and $$Var(x)$$ instead of the ratio was chosen as both terms can become 0 which would result in 0 or Inf, if the ratio is calculated.

This means: Either an '>Risoe.BINfileData or an '>RLum.Analysis object is returned in such cases. An '>Risoe.BINfileData object can be exported to a BIN-file by using the function write_R2BIN. Note This function can work with '>Risoe.BINfileData objects or '>RLum.Analysis objects (or a list of it). However, the function is highly optimised for '>Risoe.BINfileData objects as it make sense to remove identify invalid grains before the conversion to an '>RLum.Analysis object. The function checking for invalid curves works rather robust and it is likely that Reg0 curves within a SAR cycle are removed as well. Therefore it is strongly recommended to use the argument cleanup = TRUE carefully. Function version 0.2.0 (2018-01-21 17:22:38) How to cite Kreutzer, S.
