numOSL (version 1.6)

numOSL-package: Package for tackling basic numeric problems in optically stimulated luminescence dating

Description

Available functions in package numOSL include: Function analyst calculates an equivalent dose value using data from a SAR sequence. Function calED calculates equivalent dose values and assesses their standard errors (Duller, 2007). Function dbED summarizes the distribution of equivalent dose values. Function decomp decomposes 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). Function fastED estimates a fast-component equivalent dose using data from a SAR sequence. Function fitGrowth fits a growth curve. Function mcFMM and mcMAM estimate parameters of statistical age models with a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Function RadialPlotter performs statistical age models (log-scale) analysis (Galbraith and Roberts, 2012) using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method.
