numOSL-package: Package for tackling basic numeric problems in optically stimulated luminescence dating
Description
Available functions in package "numOSL" include:
1)Function calED() fits a dose-response curve and calculates an equivalent dose, the standard error of which can be assessed using either simple transformation or monte Carlo method (Duller, 2007).
2)Function dbED() summarizes the distribution of equivalent dose values and draws a histogram and a probability density plot.
3)Function decomp() and decompc() decompose an OSL decay curve (type "CW" or "LM") to a specified number of components, which perform the fitting using a combination of differential evolution and
Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm suggested by Bluszcz and Adamiec (2006).
4)Function fastED() estimates a fast-component equivalent dose with data abtained by the single aliquot regenerative (SAR) protocol (Murray and Wintle, 2000).
5)Function RadialPlotter() performs statistical age models (log-scale) analysis (Galbraith and Roberts, 2012) using classic numeric methods and draw a radial plot(Galbraith, 1988).
6)Function sgcED() fits a dose-response curve and calculates a number of equivalent doses using standardised growth curves (SGC) method (Roberts and Duller, 2004).
7)Function mcFMM() and mcMAM() estimate parameters of statistical age models with a Markov chain Monte Carlo method (i.e. Slice Sampling, Neal, 2003).Details
