Significance tests for quantitative palaeoenvironmental reconstructions derived from transfer functions. Functions from the autocorTF package are now included in palaeoSig.
Richard Telford richard.telford@uib.no
This package includes:
significance tests for quantitative palaeoenvironmental reconstructions
(randomTF, obs.cor)
graphical methods to show autocorrelation in transfer functions
(rne)
null model test of transfer functions performance in a spatially autocorrelated environment - see vignette.
Several functions have from autocorTF version 1.0 and palaeoSig
version 1.0 have been rewritten or replaced with more flexible or user
friendly functions. See news(package="palaeoSig") for details.
See also my blog at https://quantpalaeo.wordpress.com/ for more information on the package and its functions.
