p.range: Probability of a date lying within a cal BP range

Description

Find the probability of a calibrated date lying within an age range

Usage

p.range(
  x1,
  x2,
  y,
  er,
  cc = 1,
  postbomb = FALSE,
  deltaR = 0,
  deltaSTD = 0,
  normal = TRUE,
  as.F = FALSE,
  is.F = FALSE,
  t.a = 3,
  t.b = 4,
  BCAD = FALSE,
  threshold = 0
)

Value

The probability of a date lying within a certain calendar age range.

Arguments

x1: The start the range of interest.
x2: The end of the range of interest.
y: The radiocarbon date's mean.
er: The radiocarbon date's lab error.
cc: calibration curve for the radiocarbon date(s) (see the rintcal package).
postbomb: Whether or not to use a postbomb curve (see caldist()).
deltaR: Age offset (e.g. for marine samples).
deltaSTD: Uncertainty of the age offset (1 standard deviation).
normal: Use the normal distribution to calibrate dates (default TRUE). The alternative is to use the t model (Christen and Perez 2016).
as.F: Whether or not to calculate ages in the F14C realm. Defaults to as.F=FALSE, which uses the C14 realm.
is.F: Use this if the provided date is in the F14C realm.
t.a: Value a of the t distribution (defaults to 3).
t.b: Value b of the t distribution (defaults to 4).
BCAD: Which calendar scale to use. Defaults to cal BP, BCAD=FALSE.
threshold: Report only values above a threshold. Defaults to threshold=0.
