script_TL.plateau: Script for the plateau test

In dstreble/TLdating: Tools for Thermoluminescence Dating

Description

This script calls a series of data pretreatment functions before performing the plateau test. It just requires the name of the file with the TL curves and the relative error on the measurements.

Usage

script_TL.plateau(file.name, k = 1, remove.discs = NULL,
  file.parameters = list(file.extension = ".binx", folder.in = "./",
  folder.out = "./"), aligning.parameters = list(peak.Tmin = NULL, peak.Tmax =
  NULL, no.testdose = FALSE), plotting.parameters = list(plot.Tmin = 0,
  plot.Tmax = NA, plateau.Tmin = 0, plateau.Tmax = 0, no.plot = FALSE))

Arguments

file.name	character (required): Name of the file containing the luminescence data.
k	numeric (with default): Corrective factor for estimating the uncertainties using a poisson distribution.
remove.discs	numeric (with default): list containing the position of the aliquots that shall be removed.
file.parameters	list (with default): list containing the file parameters. See details.
aligning.parameters	list (with default): list containing the aligning parameters. See details.
plotting.parameters	list (with default): list containing the plotting parameters. See details.

Details

Aligning parameters
The aligning parameters are:

peak.Tmin

numeric: Lower boundary for looking for the peak maximum position.

peak.Tmax

numeric: Upper boundary for looking for the peak maximum position.

no.testdose

logical: If TRUE, the function will use the Lx curves rather than the Tx curves as reference for the peak maximum position.

File parameters
The file parameters are:

file.extension

character (with default): extension of the file containing the luminescence data (.bin or .binx)

folder.in

character (with default): Folder containing the file with the luminescene data.

folder.out

character (with default): Folder containing the file with the new luminescene data.

see also script_TL.pretreatment.

Plotting parameters
The plotting parameters are:

plot.Tmin

numeric: Lowest temperature plotted.

plot.Tmax

numeric: Highest temperature plotted.

no.plot

logical: If TRUE, the results will not be plotted.

See also plot_TL.MAAD.

Value

This function plots the results from the differents functions called using: plot_extract.TL, plot_remove.preheat plot_substract.background plot_align.peaks and plot_TL.plateau.
