In Luminescence: Comprehensive Luminescence Dating Data Analysis

Analyse post-IR IRSL measurement sequences

Description

The function performs an analysis of post-IR IRSL sequences including curve fitting on RLum.Analysis objects.

Usage

analyse_pIRIRSequence(
  object,
  signal.integral.min,
  signal.integral.max,
  background.integral.min,
  background.integral.max,
  dose.points = NULL,
  sequence.structure = c("TL", "IR50", "pIRIR225"),
  plot = TRUE,
  plot.single = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	RLum.Analysis or list of RLum.Analysis objects (required): input object containing data for analysis. If a list is provided the functions tries to iterate over the list.
signal.integral.min	integer (required): lower bound of the signal integral. Provide this value as vector for different integration limits for the different IRSL curves.
signal.integral.max	integer (required): upper bound of the signal integral. Provide this value as vector for different integration limits for the different IRSL curves.
background.integral.min	integer (required): lower bound of the background integral. Provide this value as vector for different integration limits for the different IRSL curves.
background.integral.max	integer (required): upper bound of the background integral. Provide this value as vector for different integration limits for the different IRSL curves.
dose.points	numeric (optional): a numeric vector containing the dose points values. Using this argument overwrites dose point values in the signal curves.
sequence.structure	vector character (with default): specifies the general sequence structure. Allowed values are "TL" and any "IR" combination (e.g., "IR50","pIRIR225"). Additionally a parameter "EXCLUDE" is allowed to exclude curves from the analysis (Note: If a preheat without PMT measurement is used, i.e. preheat as none TL, remove the TL step.)
plot	logical (with default): enables or disables plot output.
plot.single	logical (with default): single plot output (TRUE/FALSE) to allow for plotting the results in single plot windows. Requires plot = TRUE.
...	further arguments that will be passed to the function analyse_SAR.CWOSL and plot_GrowthCurve. Furthermore, the arguments main (headers), log (IRSL curves), cex (control the size) and mtext.outer (additional text on the plot area) can be passed to influence the plotting. If the input is list, main can be passed as vector or list.

Details

To allow post-IR IRSL protocol (Thomsen et al., 2008) measurement analyses this function has been written as extended wrapper function for the function analyse_SAR.CWOSL, facilitating an entire sequence analysis in one run. With this, its functionality is strictly limited by the functionality of the function analyse_SAR.CWOSL.

Defining the sequence structure

The argument sequence.structure expects a shortened pattern of your sequence structure and was mainly introduced to ease the use of the function. For example: If your measurement data contains the following curves: TL, IRSL, IRSL, TL, IRSL, IRSL, the sequence pattern in sequence.structure becomes c('TL', 'IRSL', 'IRSL'). The second part of your sequence for one cycle should be similar and can be discarded. If this is not the case (e.g., additional hotbleach) such curves have to be removed before using the function.

If the input is a list

If the input is a list of RLum.Analysis-objects, every argument can be provided as list to allow for different sets of parameters for every single input element. For further information see analyse_SAR.CWOSL.

Value

Plots (optional) and an RLum.Results object is returned containing the following elements:

DATA.OBJECT	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
..$data :	data.frame	Table with De values
..$LnLxTnTx.table :	data.frame	with the LnLxTnTx values
..$rejection.criteria :	data.frame	rejection criteria
..$Formula :	list	Function used for fitting of the dose response curve
..$call :	call	the original function call

The output should be accessed using the function get_RLum.

Examples

### NOTE: For this example existing example data are used. These data are non pIRIR data.
###
##(1) Compile example data set based on existing example data (SAR quartz measurement)
##(a) Load example data
data(ExampleData.BINfileData, envir = environment())

##(b) Transform the values from the first position in a RLum.Analysis object
object <- Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis(CWOSL.SAR.Data, pos=1)

##(c) Grep curves and exclude the last two (one TL and one IRSL)
object <- get_RLum(object, record.id = c(-29,-30))
