In GPawi/clamsy: Classical Age-Depth Modelling of Cores from Deposits

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Calculates *for each iteration* the slope of a straight curve between depths above and below the desired point. Requires sufficiently dense density of depths, e.g. yrsteps=1.

1	deptime.depth(depth, yrcm = TRUE, prob = 0.95)

`depth`	The depth for which accumulation rate estimates should be calculated.
`yrcm`	Calculate in years per cm, or alternatively in cm per yr.
`prob`	Probability level at which to calculate the ranges.

To calculate sedimentation times at a depth. Before running this, run your core in clam and store the data, so, make sure to set storedat=TRUE. Renamed from previous accrate.depth function to avoid confusion with accrate.depth function of rbacon.

Returns (invisibly) the modelled deposition times for a specific depths, a histogram and confidence ranges.

  clam(coredir=tempdir(), storedat=TRUE) 
  dp <- deptime.depth(20)
  summary(dp)
  deptime.depth(20, FALSE) # to calculate accumulation rates in cm/yr
