In rbacon: Age-Depth Modelling using Bayesian Statistics

provide a summary of the estimated accumulation rates for any depth of a core

Description

Obtain a summary (95% range, 68% range, 50%=median, mean) of the accumulation rates (in years per cm, so actually sedimentation times) as estimated by the MCMC iterations for any depth of a core.

Usage

accrate.depth.summary(
  d,
  set = get("info"),
  cmyr = FALSE,
  remove.hiatuses = TRUE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.16, 0.84, 0.975, 0.5)
)

Arguments

d	The depth for which accumulation rates need to be returned.
set	Detailed information of the current run, stored within this session's memory as variable info.
cmyr	Accumulation rates can be calculated in cm/year or year/cm. By default cmyr=FALSE and accumulation rates are calculated in year per cm.
remove.hiatuses	Hiatuses will affect apparent accumulation rates within sections. Therefore, by default the hiatus jumps will be removed from the accumulation rates within sections containing hiatuses.
na.rm	Remove NA entries. These are NOT removed by default, so that always the same amount of iterations is returned. NAs will however be removed if a core has slumps.
probs	The probability ranges to be returned. Defaults to the minima and maxima of the 95% and 68% ranges, as well as the median: probs=c(.025, .16, .84, .975, .5).

Value

A summary of the estimated accumulation rate of the chosen depth: minimum of the 95% interval, minimum of the 68% interval, maximum of the 68% interval, maximum of the 95% interval, median (i.e., 50%) and mean.
