In Luminescence: Comprehensive Luminescence Dating Data Analysis

Comprehensive Luminescence Dating Data Analysis

Description

A collection of various R functions for the purpose of luminescence dating data analysis. This includes, amongst others, data import, export, application of age models, curve deconvolution, sequence analysis and plotting of equivalent dose distributions.
