pMCtoDelta14C: Transform pMC into Delta14C

In rice: Radiocarbon Equations

Transform pMC into Delta14C

Description

Transform pMC into Delta14C

Usage

pMCtoDelta14C(pMC, er = NULL, t, roundby = NA)

Arguments

pMC	The pMC value to translate
er	Reported error of the pMC value. Returns just the mean if left empty.
t	the cal BP age
roundby	Amount of decimals required for the output. Defaults to roundby=NA, no rounding.

Details

As explained by Heaton et al. 2020 (Radiocarbon), 14C measurements are commonly expressed in three domains: Delta14C, F14C and the radiocarbon age. This function translates F14C values into Delta14C, the historical level of Delta14C in the year t cal BP. Note that per convention, this function uses the Cambridge half-life, not the Libby half-life.

Value

The corresponding Delta14C value

Examples

  pMCtoDelta14C(0.985, .1, 222)
