write_BayLumFiles: Write BayLum .csv-files

In BayLum: Chronological Bayesian Models Integrating Optically Stimulated Luminescence and Radiocarbon Age Dating

Write BayLum .csv-files

Description

This function allows the user to write all .csv files expected by Generate_DataFile and Generate_DataFile_MG. Unlike create_FolderTemplates, this function makes it possible to write .csv files with all information directly from R. No further modification of .csv files are required. The purpose of this function is (i) to reduce tedious manual editing of .csv-files and the errors that result (ii) to introduce an easy way to review information inside .csv-files (by revisiting code rather than opening individual .csv-files) and (iii) to streamline folder and file creation when preparing data to run BayLum's modelling functions. Note: the user will still need to move the appropriate .bin-files into all the sample folders.

Usage

write_BayLumFiles(
  folder,
  SampleNames = "Sample_1",
  BinPerSample = rep(1, length(SampleNames)),
  SubSampleNames = NULL,
  DiscPos = NULL,
  DRenv = 1,
  DRenv.error = 0.04,
  DRsource = 0.1,
  DRsource.error = 0.002,
  signal.integral.min = 6,
  signal.integral.max = 10,
  background.integral.min = 346,
  background.integral.max = 395,
  inflatePercent = 0.025,
  nbOfLastCycleToRemove = 2
)

Arguments

folder	character (required*): The name of the main folder in which all subsequent BayLum files and folders will be located. This could be a path to an already existing folder, or the path/name of a folder to be created.
SampleNames	character (required): Vector of sample names.
BinPerSample	numeric (with default): Vector of numbers indicating the number of .bin-files per sample.
SubSampleNames	character (optional): Vector of names to give each subfolder within a sample when the number of .bin-files in a sample counts more than one. If omitted or NULL, the subfolders are named by the subfolder count number.
DiscPos	numeric (with default): List of data frames with each data frame having one or two columns to identify aliquots/grains to be included in the analysis. The first column corresponds to the position number, and the second column corresponds to the grain number. If the data frame has only one column, a Disc.csv will be written. If the data.frame has two columns, a DiscPos.csv will be written. The length of the list should be the number of .bin-files included.
DRenv	numeric (with default): Vector where DRenv[i] corresponds to environmental dose rate for .bin-file[i]. Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
DRenv.error	numeric (with default): Vector where DRenv.error[i] corresponds to environmental dose rate error for .bin-file[i]. Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
DRsource	numeric (with default): Vector where DRsource[i] corresponds to source dose rate for .bin-file[i]. Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
DRsource.error	numeric (with default): Vector where DRsource.error[i] corresponds to source dose rate error for .bin-file[i]. Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
signal.integral.min	numeric (with default): Vector where signal.integral.min[i] corresponds to the channel number where the OSL signal should be summed from forbin-file[i] Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
signal.integral.max	numeric (with default): Vector where signal.integral.max[i] corresponds to the channel number where the OSL signal should be summed from to for bin-file[i] Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
background.integral.min	numeric (with default): Vector where background.integral.min[i] corresponds to the channel number where the OSL background signal should be summed from forbin-file[i] Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
background.integral.max	numeric (with default): Vector where background.integral.max[i] corresponds to the channel number where the OSL background signal should be summed to for .bin-file[i]. Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
inflatePercent	numeric (with default): Vector where inflatePercent[i] corresponds to uncertainty due to instrumental reproducibility tobin-file[i] Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.
nbOfLastCycleToRemove	numeric (with default): Vector where nbOfLastCycleToRemove[i] corresponds to the number of regeneration points to remove in analysis for bin-file[i] Length should be one or the number of .bin-files included in the analysis.

Value

The function returns nothing, but writes the folder structure.
