ages-class: Class '"ages"'

In NiLeDAM: Monazite Datation for the NiLeDAM team

Description

A class for the results of the calculateAges function. It contains the ages calculated for each analytical point from triplets (U,Th,Pb) and corresponding errors.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the function calculateAges.

Slots

data:

Object of class "data.frame" that contains the original triplets (U,Th,Pb) and corresponding errors.

ages:

Object of class "vector" that contains the ages calculated for each analytical point.

ci:

Object of class "matrix", which is a two-column matrix that contains the bounds of the confidence intervals for each age of the slot ages. These are estimated from a MC simulation method as described in calculateAges.

sd:

Object of class "vector" that contains the standard deviations for each age of the slot ages. These are estimated from a MC simulation method as described in calculateAges.

nloops:

Object of class "numeric" that stores the number of MC simulations used to estimate the confidence intervals and the standard deviations.

level:

Object of class "numeric" that stores the level of the confidence intervals.

Methods

print

signature(x = "ages"): display a summary of the results of the ages calculation.

show

signature(object = "ages"): display a summary of the results of the ages calculation (same as print.ages).

summary

signature(object = "ages"): display a summary of the results of the ages calculation (same as print.ages).
