ShellChron (version 0.4.0)

age_corr: Function that corrects chronologies for sudden jumps in time

Description

Some occurrences in the model results can lead the CumDY function to detect extra year transitions, resulting in sudden jumps in the shell chronology or a start of the chronology at an age beyond 1 year. This function removes these sharp transitions and late onset by adding or subtracting whole years to the age result.

Usage

age_corr(resultarray, T_per = 365, plot = TRUE, agecorrection = TRUE)

Arguments

resultarray

Array containing the full results of the optimized growth model

T_per

The period length of one year (in days)

plot

Should the results be plotted? (/codeTRUE/FALSE)

agecorrection

Correct for jumps in age (/codeTRUE) or only for starting time (/codeFALSE)

Value

An updated and corrected version of resultarray

Examples

# NOT RUN {
testarray <- array(NA, dim = c(20, 16, 9)) # Create empty array
# with correct third dimension
windowfill <- seq(10, 100, 10) # Create dummy simulation data 
# (ages) to copy through the array
for(i in 6:length(testarray[1, , 1])){
    testarray[, i, 3] <- c(windowfill,
        rep(NA, length(testarray[, 1, 3]) - length(windowfill)))
    windowfill <- c(NA, windowfill + 31)
}
testarray2 <- age_corr(testarray, 365, FALSE, FALSE) # Apply function on 
array
# }
