Calculate De value based on the gSGC by Li et al., 2015

Description

Function returns De value and De value error using the global standardised growth curve (gSGC) assumption proposed by Li et al., 2015 for OSL dating of sedimentary quartz

Usage

calc_gSGC(
  data,
  gSGC.type = "0-250",
  gSGC.parameters,
  n.MC = 100,
  verbose = TRUE,
  plot = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	data.frame (required): input data of providing the following columns: LnTn, LnTn.error, Lr1Tr1, Lr1Tr1.error, Dr1 Note: column names are not required. The function expect the input data in the given order
gSGC.type	character (with default): define the function parameters that should be used for the iteration procedure: Li et al., 2015 (Table 2) presented function parameters for two dose ranges: "0-450" and "0-250"
gSGC.parameters	list (optional): option to provide own function parameters used for fitting as named list. Nomenclature follows Li et al., 2015, i.e. list(A,A.error,D0,D0.error,c,c.error,Y0,Y0.error,range), range requires a vector for the range the function is considered as valid, e.g. range = c(0,250) Using this option overwrites the default parameter list of the gSGC, meaning the argument gSGC.type will be without effect
n.MC	integer (with default): number of Monte Carlo simulation runs for error estimation, see details.
verbose	logical: enable or disable terminal output
plot	logical: enable or disable graphical feedback as plot
...	parameters will be passed to the plot output

Details

The error of the De value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Solving of the equation is realised using uniroot. Large values for n.MC will significantly increase the computation time.

Value

Returns an S4 object of type RLum.Results.
