data2york: Prepare geochronological data for York regression

In IsoplotR: Statistical Toolbox for Radiometric Geochronology

Prepare geochronological data for York regression

Description

Takes geochronology data as input and produces a five-column table with the variables, their uncertainties and error correlations as output. These can subsequently be used for York regression.

data2york(x, format = 1, ...)

## S3 method for class 'other'
data2york(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'UPb'
data2york(x, option = 1, tt = 0, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ArAr'
data2york(x, inverse = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ThPb'
data2york(x, inverse = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'KCa'
data2york(x, inverse = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'PbPb'

Arguments

x	a five or six column matrix OR an object of class UPb, PbPb, ThPb, ArAr, ThU, UThHe, or PD (which includes objects of class RbSr, SmNd, LuHf and ReOs), generated by the read.data(...) function
...	optional arguments
format	one of 1 or 2: X, s[X], Y, s[Y], rXY; where rXY is the error correlation between X and Y; or 3: X/Z, s[X/Z], Y/Z, s[Y/Z], X/Y, s[X/Y]; for which the error correlations are automatically computed from the redundancy of the three ratios.
option	one of 1: Wetherill concordia ratios: X=07/35, sX=s[07/35], Y=06/38, sY=s[06/38], rXY. 2: Tera-Wasserburg ratios: X=38/06, sX=s[38/06], Y=07/06, sY=s[07/06], rXY. 3: X=38/06, sX=s[38/06], Y=04/06, sY=s[04/06], rXY (only valid if x$format=4,5 or 6). 4: X=35/07, sX=s[35/07], Y=04/07, sY=s[04/07], rXY (only valid if x$format=4,5 or 6). 5: U-Th-Pb concordia ratios: X=06/38, sX=s[06/38], Y=08/32, sY=s[08/32], rXY (only valid if x$format=7,8). 6: X=38/06, sX=s[38/06], Y=08/06, sY=s[08/06], rXY (only valid if x$format=7,8). 7: X=35/07, sX=s[35/07], Y=08/07, sY=s[08/07], rXY (only valid if x$format=7,8). 8: X=32/08, sX=s[32/08], Y=06/08, sY=s[06/08], rXY (only valid if x$format=7,8). 9: X=32/08, sX=s[32/08], Y=07/08, sY=s[07/08], rXY (only valid if x$format=7,8).
tt	the age of the sample. This is only used if x$format=7 or 8, in order to calculate the inherited {}^{208}Pb/{}^{232}Th ratio.
inverse	toggles between normal and inverse isochron ratios. data2york returns five columns X, s[X], Y, s[Y] and r[X,Y]. If inverse=TRUE, then X = {}^{204}Pb/{}^{206}Pb and Y = {}^{207}Pb/{}^{206}Pb (if x has class PbPb), or X = {}^{232}Th/{}^{208}Pb and Y = {}^{204}Pb/{}^{208}Pb (if x has class ThPb), or X = {}^{39}Ar/{}^{40}Ar and Y = {}^{36}Ar/{}^{40}Ar (if x has class ArAr), or X = {}^{40}K/{}^{40}Ca and Y = {}^{44}Ca/{}^{40}Ca (if x has class KCa), or X = {}^{87}Rb/{}^{87}Sr and Y = {}^{86}Sr/{}^{87}Sr (if x has class RbSr), or X = {}^{147}Sm/{}^{143}Nd and Y = {}^{144}Nd/{}^{143}Nd (if x has class SmNd), or X = {}^{187}Re/{}^{187}Os and Y = {}^{188}Os/{}^{187}Os (if x has class ReOs), or X = {}^{176}Lu/{}^{176}Hf and Y = {}^{177}Hf/{}^{176}Hf (if x has class LuHf). If inverse=FALSE, then X = {}^{206}Pb/{}^{204}Pb and Y = {}^{207}Pb/{}^{204}Pb (if x has class PbPb), or X = {}^{232}Th/{}^{204}Pb and Y = {}^{208}Pb/{}^{204}Pb (if x has class ThPb), or X = {}^{39}Ar/{}^{36}Ar and Y = {}^{40}Ar/{}^{36}Ar (if x has class ArAr), or X = {}^{40}K/{}^{44}Ca and Y = {}^{40}Ca/{}^{44}Ca (if x has class KCa), or X = {}^{87}Rb/{}^{86}Sr and Y = {}^{87}Sr/{}^{86}Sr (if x has class RbSr), or X = {}^{147}Sm/{}^{144}Nd and Y = {}^{143}Nd/{}^{144}Nd (if x has class SmNd), or X = {}^{187}Re/{}^{188}Os and Y = {}^{187}Os/{}^{188}Os (if x has class ReOs), or X = {}^{176}Lu/{}^{177}Hf and Y = {}^{176}Hf/{}^{177}Hf (if x has class LuHf).
exterr	If TRUE, propagates the external uncertainties (e.g. decay constants) into the output errors.
type	Return ‘Rosholt’ or ‘Osmond’ ratios? Rosholt (type=1) returns X=8/2, sX=s[8/2], Y=0/2, sY=s[0/2], rXY. Osmond (type=2) returns X=2/8, sX=s[2/8], Y=0/8, sY=s[0/8], rXY.
generic	If TRUE, uses the following column headers: X, sX, Y, sY, rXY. If FALSE and type=1, uses U238Th232, errU238Th232, Th230Th232, errTh230Th232, rXY or if FALSE and type=2, uses Th232U238, errTh232U238, Th230U238, errTh230U238, rXY.
