restore: Undo the effect of hydraulic sorting

In provenance: Statistical Toolbox for Sedimentary Provenance Analysis

Description

Restore the detrital composition back to a specified source rock density (SRD)

Usage

restore(X, dens, target = 2.71)

Arguments

X	an object of class compositional
dens	a vector of rock and mineral densities
target	the target density (in g/cm3)

Value

an object of class SRDcorrected, i.e. an object of class compositional which is a daughter of class compositional containing the restored composition, plus one additional member called restoration, containing the intermediate steps of the SRD correction algorithm.
