A Bayesian radiocarbon chronology model with R





New: Bchron website
Bchron is a Bayesian chronology model implemented in R.
The package enables quick calibration of radiocarbon dates under various calibration curves (including user generated ones); Age-depth modelling as per the algorithm of Haslett and Parnell (2008); Relative sea level rate estimation incorporating time uncertainty in polynomial regression models; and non-parametric phase modelling via Gaussian mixtures as a means to determine the activity of a site (and as an alternative to the Oxcal function SUM).
To install the development version of the package type:
```
If required install remotes:
if(!require(remotes)) install.packages('remotes')remotes::install_github('andrewcparnell/Bchron')```
You can then explore the package with:
library(Bchron)help(Bchronology) # Help on the chronology modelling functionhelp(BchronCalibrate) # Help on the calibrate function
To install the stable version of the package go to R and type:
install.packages('Bchron')
Now start using Bchron!
