Arguments
x
Either an [nx2] matix of (transformed) values z
and their standard errors s
OR
and object of class fissiontracks, UThHe,
ArAr, KCa, ReOs, SmNd, RbSr,
LuHf, ThU, PbPb, ThPb or UPb
...
additional arguments to the generic points
function
from
minimum age limit of the radial scale
to
maximum age limit of the radial scale
z0
central value
transformation
one of either log, linear,
sqrt or arcsin (if x has class
fissiontracks and fissiontracks$format \neq
1).
sigdig
the number of significant digits of the numerical
values reported in the title of the graphical output.
show.numbers
boolean flag (TRUE to show grain
numbers)
pch
plot character (default is a filled circle)
levels
a vector with additional values to be displayed as
different background colours of the plot symbols.
clabel
label of the colour legend
bg
Fill colour for the plot symbols. This can either be a
single colour or multiple colours to form a colour ramp (to be
used if levels!=NA):
a single colour: rgb(0,1,0,0.5), '#FF000080',
'white', etc.;
multiple colours: c(rbg(1,0,0,0.5),
rgb(0,1,0,0.5)), c('#FF000080','#00FF0080'),
c('blue','red'), c('blue','yellow','red'), etc.;
a colour palette: rainbow(n=100),
topo.colors(n=100,alpha=0.5), etc.; or
a reversed palette: rev(topo.colors(n=100,alpha=0.5)), etc.
for plot symbols, set bg=NA
col
text colour to be used if show.numbers=TRUE
k
number of peaks to fit using the finite mixture models of
Galbraith and Laslett (1993). Setting k='auto'
automatically selects an optimal number of components based on
the Bayes Information Criterion (BIC). Setting k='min'
estimates the minimum value using a three parameter model
consisting of a Normal distribution truncated by a discrete
component.
np
number of parameters for the minimum age
model. Must be either 3 or 4.
markers
vector of ages of radial marker lines to add to the
plot.
oerr
indicates whether the analytical uncertainties of the
output are reported in the plot title as:
1: 1\sigma absolute uncertainties.
2: 2\sigma absolute uncertainties.
3: absolute (1-\alpha)% confidence intervals, where
\alpha equales the value that is stored in
settings('alpha').
4: 1\sigma relative uncertainties (\%).
5: 2\sigma relative uncertainties (\%).
6: relative (1-\alpha)% confidence intervals, where
\alpha equales the value that is stored in
settings('alpha').
units
measurement units to be displayed in the legend.
hide
vector with indices of aliquots that should be removed
from the radial plot.
omit
vector with indices of aliquots that should be plotted
but omitted from the central age calculation or mixture models.
omit.col
colour that should be used for the omitted
aliquots.
exterr
include the external sources of uncertainty into
the error propagation for the central age and mixture models?
type
scalar indicating whether to plot the
^{207}Pb/^{235}U age (type=1), the
^{206}Pb/^{238}U age (type=2), the
^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb age (type=3), the
^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb-^{206}Pb/^{238}U age
(type=4), the concordia_age (type=5), or the
^{208}Pb/^{232}Th age (type=6). Ignored if
x$format>8.
cutoff.76
the age (in Ma) below which the
^{206}Pb/^{238}U and above which the
^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb age is used. This parameter is
only used if type=4.
cutoff.disc
discordance cutoff filter. This is an object of
class discfilter.
common.Pb
common lead correction:
0: none
1: use the Pb-composition stored in
settings('iratio','Pb207Pb206') (if x has class
UPb and x$format<4);
settings('iratio','Pb206Pb204') and
settings('iratio','Pb207Pb204') (if x has class
PbPb or x has class UPb and
3<x$format<7); or
settings('iratio','Pb206Pb208') and
settings('iratio','Pb207Pb208') (if x has class
UPb and x$format=7 or 8).
2: remove the common Pb by projecting the data along an
inverse isochron. Note: choosing this option introduces a degree of
circularity in the central age calculation. In this case the radial
plot just serves as a way to visualise the residuals of the data
around the isochron, and one should be careful not to
over-interpret the numerical output.
3: use the Stacey-Kramers two-stage model to infer the
initial Pb-composition
i2i
‘isochron to intercept’: calculates the initial
(aka ‘inherited’, ‘excess’, or ‘common’) ^{40}Ar/^{36}Ar,
^{40}Ca/^{44}Ca, ^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb,
^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr, ^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd,
^{187}Os/^{188}Os, ^{230}Th/^{232}Th,
^{176}Hf/^{177}Hf or ^{204}Pb/^{208}Pb
ratio from an isochron fit. Setting i2i to FALSE uses
the default values stored in settings('iratio',...).
Note that choosing this option introduces a degree of circularity
in the central age calculation. In this case the radial_plot plot
just serves as a way to visualise the residuals of the data around
the isochron, and one should be careful not to over-interpret the
numerical output.
Th0i
initial ^{230}Th correction.
0: no correction
1: project the data along an isochron fit
2: if x$format is 1 or 2, correct the
data using the measured present day ^{230}Th/^{238}U,
^{232}Th/^{238}U and ^{234}U/^{238}U
activity ratios in the detritus. If x$format is 3 or
4, correct the data using the measured
^{238}U/^{232}Th activity ratio of the whole rock, as
stored in x by the read.data() function.
3: correct the data using an assumed initial
^{230}Th/^{232}Th-ratio for the detritus (only relevant
if x$format is 1 or 2).
Details
The radial plot (Galbraith, 1988, 1990) is a graphical device that
was specifically designed to display heteroscedastic data, and is
constructed as follows. Consider a set of dates
\{t_1,...,t_i,...,t_n\} and uncertainties
\{s[t_1],...,s[t_i],...,s[t_n]\}. Define z_i = z[t_i]
to be a transformation of t_i (e.g., z_i = log[t_i]),
and let s[z_i] be its propagated analytical uncertainty
(i.e., s[z_i] = s[t_i]/t_i in the case of a logarithmic
transformation). Create a scatter plot of (x_i,y_i) values,
where x_i = 1/s[z_i] and y_i = (z_i-z_\circ)/s[z_i],
where z_\circ is some reference value such as the mean. The
slope of a line connecting the origin of this scatter plot with any
of the (x_i,y_i)s is proportional to z_i and, hence,
the date t_i.
These dates can be more easily visualised by drawing a radial scale
at some convenient distance from the origin and annotating it with
labelled ticks at the appropriate angles. While the angular
position of each data point represents the date, its horizontal
distance from the origin is proportional to the
precision. Imprecise measurements plot on the left hand side of the
radial plot, whereas precise age determinations are found further
towards the right. Thus, radial plots allow the observer to assess
both the magnitude and the precision of quantitative data in one
glance.
Value
does not produce any numerical output, but does report the
central age and the results of any mixture modelling in the
title. An asterisk is added to the plot title if the initial
daughter correction is based on an isochron regression, to
highlight the circularity of using an isochron to compute a
central age, and to indicate that the reported uncertainties do
not include the uncertainty of the initial daughter correction.
This is because this uncertainty is neither purely random nor
purely systematic.

(aka ‘inherited’, ‘excess’, or ‘common’) Note that choosing this option introduces a degree of circularity in the central age calculation. In this case the radial_plot plot just serves as a way to visualise the residuals of the data around the isochron, and one should be careful not to over-interpret the numerical output. |

Details
The radial plot (Galbraith, 1988, 1990) is a graphical device that
was specifically designed to display heteroscedastic data, and is
constructed as follows. Consider a set of dates
\{t_1,...,t_i,...,t_n\} and uncertainties
\{s[t_1],...,s[t_i],...,s[t_n]\}. Define z_i = z[t_i]
to be a transformation of t_i (e.g., z_i = log[t_i]),
and let s[z_i] be its propagated analytical uncertainty
(i.e., s[z_i] = s[t_i]/t_i in the case of a logarithmic
transformation). Create a scatter plot of (x_i,y_i) values,
where x_i = 1/s[z_i] and y_i = (z_i-z_\circ)/s[z_i],
where z_\circ is some reference value such as the mean. The
slope of a line connecting the origin of this scatter plot with any
of the (x_i,y_i)s is proportional to z_i and, hence,
the date t_i.
These dates can be more easily visualised by drawing a radial scale at some convenient distance from the origin and annotating it with labelled ticks at the appropriate angles. While the angular position of each data point represents the date, its horizontal distance from the origin is proportional to the precision. Imprecise measurements plot on the left hand side of the radial plot, whereas precise age determinations are found further towards the right. Thus, radial plots allow the observer to assess both the magnitude and the precision of quantitative data in one glance.
Value
does not produce any numerical output, but does report the central age and the results of any mixture modelling in the title. An asterisk is added to the plot title if the initial daughter correction is based on an isochron regression, to highlight the circularity of using an isochron to compute a central age, and to indicate that the reported uncertainties do not include the uncertainty of the initial daughter correction. This is because this uncertainty is neither purely random nor purely systematic.
