TempoActivityPlot: Plot of the activity of events

Description

A statistical graphic designed for the archaeological study of rhythms of the long term that embodies a theory of archaeological evidence for the occurrence of events.

Usage

TempoActivityPlot(data, position, level=0.95,  count = TRUE, 
title = "Activity plot")

Arguments

data

dataframe containing the output of the MCMC algorithm

position

numeric vector containing the position of the column corresponding to the MCMC chains of interest

level

probability corresponding to the level of confidence used for the credible interval

count

if TRUE the counting process is given as a number, otherwise it is a probability
