In UCL/ADMUR: Ancient Demographic Modelling Using Radiocarbon

ADMUR build history

Version: 1.0.3.9005

2023-09-06

• removed dependency on 'zoo' package.
• fast rollmean function.
• removed dependency on 'scales' package.
• removed dependency on 'grDevices' package by using greyscale instead

Version: 1.0.3.9004

2021-03-23

• taphonomy parameter deprecated. Instead, include 'power' as a model type, and allocate two parameters to it.

Version: 1.0.3.9003

2021-03-22

• Non-parametric models of any complexity handled. Requires a 'timeseries' data frame, and a single parameter to determine the relative amplitude.

Version: 1.0.3.9002

2021-03-21

• Parametric models can now be aggregated to any required complexity. For example, multiple sinewaves, or a Gaussian multiplied by an exponential.

Version: 1.0.3.9001

2021-03-18

• Minor updates

Version: 1.0.3.9000

2021-03-19

• svg replaced with png to resolve request from Prof Brian Ripley.

2021-01-22

Version: 1.0.2.9001

• svg now imported from grDevices in NAMESPACE, following request from Prof Brian Ripley.
• 14C datasets from taphonomic papers added (Surovell, Bluhm, Bryson etc).
• Substantial update to guide, detailing taphonomy.

2021-01-21

Version: 1.0.2.9000

• Taphonomy option now included: major update.
• Taphonomy parameter incorporated into convertPars(), objectiveFunction(), proposalFunction(), mcmc()
• New CPLparsToHinges() helper function purely to handle converting CPL parameters into hinges

2020-12-16

Version: 1.0.1.9004

• Toy data sets 1,2,3 changed to a more recent date range, to better demonstrate the power law model.
• Power Law model added to guide, and all guide models rerun under 'Other models in ADMUR'.
• MCMC extended to handle other models.

2020-12-15

Version: 1.0.1.9003

• Integrated full formula for truncated Cauchy model into calculations and manual.
• Added Power law model

2020-12-14

Version: 1.0.1.9002

• Typo corrected in Guide - thanks to Ricardo Fernandes.
• Bug in relativeRate() corrected. Generation time was fixed on 25 yrs.
• Further detail in guide on likelihood calculations.

2020-11-27

Version: 1.0.1.9001

• Added a logistic model.
• Added three toy datasets.
• New section in guide, exploring further models.

2020-11-21

Version: 1.0.1.9000

• Substantial improvement in the area breaking algorithm, total rebuild of convertParsCPL(). Be aware that the raw parameter values now differ from v1.0.0 for a given model.

2020-11-18

Version: 1.0.0.9003

• Added a Cauchy model, as a Gaussian model is the devil's work. Real data from single events have long tails.
• Added a sigmoidal model. Earth-related systems (e.g. climate) should be expected to oscillate.

2020-11-13

Version: 1.0.0.9002

• Added a Gaussian model.
• Added checkData()

20-11-11

Version: 1.0.0.9001

Resubmission to CRAN as version 1.0.0 following the fix and resubmit request. Many thanks to Gregor Seyer for hugely helpful comments. All instances of \dontrun{} in the manual examples changed to \donttest{}, as these take > 5 secs. Changes to warning settings removed from summedCalibrator(). Instead, to avoid repetitive warnings in a loop, warnings are now a logical argument. All instances of par() changes within functions have been removed. All instances of par() changes in vignettes are reset to user's par().

Version: 1.0.0.9000

Initial submission to CRAN as version 1.0.0
