t |
numeric vector of integer values providing a reference chronology for the age perturbations (starting with the youngest age) |
acp |
numeric vector of age control points where the age uncertainty is
assumed to be zero. Per default, a two-element vector where the first
element is the start age ( |
nt |
the length of the records (i.e. the number of data points) to
simulate; per default set to |
nc |
the number of cores in the modelled core array |
ns |
the number of Monte Carlo simulations for estimating the transfer function |
model |
name string of the random process to use for realising the age perturbations; must be either "poisson" (the default) or "bernoulli"; see Comboul et al. (2014) for details on the two models. |
rate |
numeric vector of probability rate(s) that an age band is perturbed; you can specify a vector of two rates where the first entry is the probability for a missing band and the second entry the probability for a double-counting of a band. If only a single value is specified (per default 0.05), symmetric perturbations are assumed. |
resize |
the resizing option in case of shorter/longer than original time axes: 0 = do not resize, -1 = resize to shortest realisation, 1 = resize to longest realisation (default). |
surrogate.fun |
the random number generator to use for creating the
noise time series; per default, Gaussian white noise is created using the
base |

The approach is described in detail in Münch and Laepple (2018). In brief,
nc
identical surrogate time series are created and age perturbed and
the average of these time series is calculated. The process is repeated
ns
times. For each of the ns
realisations, spectra of the
average age-perturbed and original time series are calculated yielding the
spectral transfer function.
The modelling of the time uncertainty follows the approach presented in
Comboul et al. (2014) which is implemented in the package
simproxyage
and hence needed for this function to work. The package
is available on GitHub under
https://github.com/EarthSystemDiagnostics/simproxyage
and can be installed directly using
remotes::install_github("EarthSystemDiagnostics/simproxyage")
.
The spectral estimates are calculated using Thomson’s multitaper method with three windows with linear detrending before analysis.
Handling of age control points (see package simproxyage
for more
details):
The function allows one to model the age uncertainty with several age control points (ACP) where the age uncertainty evolves according to the model of Comboul et al. (2014) between the age control points but is forced back to zero time uncertainty at the ACPs following a Brownian Bridge process.
Per default, the start age (i.e. the youngest age at the core top) is
assumed to be the first ACP, thus, if not set explicitly in the vector
acp
, the youngest age is added as its first element. You can specify
an arbitrary number of additional ACPs. Between each pair of ACPs (starting
at the core top), constrained age perturbation realisations are performed
following the Comboul et al. (2014) model and the Brownian Bridge
concept. If the last ACP equals the oldest age in t
(i.e. the last
proxy data point), the last core segment also follows a Brownian Bridge
process. Alternatively, if the last ACP is younger than the final age,
NA
is added as the last element to the vector acp
which
results in an unconstrained age perturbation process for the last core
segment.
ACPs lying outside the time interval defined by t
will be removed
from the vector acp
with a warning.
