The goal of ageR is to provide functions that facilitate the creation of age models using different data sources, including databases, comma and tab separated files.
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("special-uor/ageR", "dev")
ageR::Bacon
creates symbolic links
(think of them as shortcuts), you should run RStudio in “Administrator
mode” to avoid error messages.
For an entity X, the input structure should look like
ageR::file_structure(entity = "X", am = "bacon")
#> levelName
#> 1 X
#> 2 ¦--Bacon_runs
#> 3 ¦ °--X
#> 4 ¦ ¦--X_depths.txt
#> 5 ¦ ¦--X_sample_ids.csv
#> 6 ¦ °--X.csv
#> 7 ¦--hiatus.csv
#> 8 °--not_used_dates.csv
The function ageR::create_input
can be used to automatically create
the appropriate file structure (as shown previously).
-
Start by creating a data frame for the sampling depths, this should have two numeric columns called
id
anddepth
:sample_depths <- data.frame(id = 1:100, depth = seq(0, 500, length.out = 100)) knitr::kable(head(sample_depths))
id depth 1 0.000000 2 5.050505 3 10.101010 4 15.151515 5 20.202020 6 25.252525 -
Create a data frame with the core’s data, this should have at least four columns. The first column can be of character type and the remaining must be numeric. The column names should be
labID
,age
,error
, anddepth
. Optionally, a fifth column,cc
, can be included to manually select the calibration curve for each observation.core <- data.frame(labID = paste0("X", sprintf("%03d", 1:5)), age = c(50, 200, 1150, 2060, 4050), error = c(10, 15, 5, 1, 70), depth = c(5, 100, 230, 300, 450), cc = 1) knitr::kable(core)
labID age error depth cc X001 50 10 5 1 X002 200 15 100 1 X003 1150 5 230 1 X004 2060 1 300 1 X005 4050 70 450 1 -
(Optional) Create a data frame with the hiatuses depths, this should have two numeric columns called
id
anddepth
:hiatus <- data.frame(id = c(1, 2), depth = c(50, 150)) knitr::kable(hiatus)
id depth 1 50 2 150 -
Call the
ageR::create_input
function. The first parameter should be a list containing the previous data frames, which must be calledsample_depths
,core
, andhiatus
(if included). Next, a working directory (wdir
), the entity’s name, and optionally the age model’s name (by default is Bacon).ageR::create_input(data = list(sample_depths = sample_depths, core = core, # Optional hiatus = hiatus), wdir = "./", entity = "X", am = "bacon")
ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./",
entity = "X",
# Optional parameters
cpus = 1,
postbomb = 0,
cc = 0,
seed = NA,
alt_depths = NULL,
quiet = FALSE,
acc_step = 5,
acc_lower = NULL,
acc_upper = NULL,
thick_step = 5,
thick_lower = NULL,
thick_upper = NULL,
dry_run = FALSE,
...)
Dry-runs are useful to check how many scenarios will be generated with the current configuration:
ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", dry_run = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)
#> The following scenarios will be executed:
#>
#>
#> | Accumulation rate| Thickness|
#> |-----------------:|---------:|
#> | 5| 10|
#> | 10| 10|
#> | 20| 10|
#> | 5| 15|
#> | 10| 15|
#> | 20| 15|
#> | 5| 20|
#> | 10| 20|
#> | 20| 20|
#> | 5| 30|
#> | 10| 30|
#> | 20| 30|
#> | 5| 40|
#> | 10| 40|
#> | 20| 40|
#> A total of 15 scenarios.
Based on a dry-run, we might want to constraint our execution to a smaller set of scenarios. This can be done for both accumulation rate and core segment thickness.
ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", acc_lower = 10, acc_upper = 20, dry_run = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)
#> The following scenarios will be executed:
#>
#>
#> | Accumulation rate| Thickness|
#> |-----------------:|---------:|
#> | 10| 10|
#> | 20| 10|
#> | 10| 15|
#> | 20| 15|
#> | 10| 20|
#> | 20| 20|
#> | 10| 30|
#> | 20| 30|
#> | 10| 40|
#> | 20| 40|
#> A total of 10 scenarios.
ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", thick_lower = 10, thick_upper = 30, dry_run = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)
#> The following scenarios will be executed:
#>
#>
#> | Accumulation rate| Thickness|
#> |-----------------:|---------:|
#> | 5| 10|
#> | 10| 10|

#> | 10| 30|
#> | 20| 30|
#> A total of 12 scenarios.
This is particular useful for “neo-tropical” sites. It involves three steps:
-
Assign
cc = 4
to thecore
data:core <- data.frame(labID = paste0("X", sprintf("%03d", 1:5)), age = c(50, 200, 1150, 2060, 4050), error = c(10, 15, 5, 1, 70), depth = c(5, 100, 230, 300, 450), cc = 4) knitr::kable(core)
labID age error depth cc X001 50 10 5 4 X002 200 15 100 4 X003 1150 5 230 4 X004 2060 1 300 4 X005 4050 70 450 4 -
Create a mixed calibration curve with
ageR::mix_curves
. The following example uses a 50/50 mix betweenIntCal20
(cc1 = 1
) andSHCal20
(cc2 = 3
).ccdir <- "./ccurves" ageR::mix_curves(proportion = 0.5, cc1 = 1, cc = 3, name = "neotropics.14C", dir = ccdir) #> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #> | Mixed curved: 50/50 created. | #> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Add two new parameters to the
ageR::Bacon
call:out <- ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", cc4 = "neotropics.14C", ccdir = ccdir)
A progress bar can be displayed for long computations. Just “pipe” the
function call to ageR::pb()
.
`%>%` <- magrittr::`%>%`
out <- ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", cpus = 8, verbose = FALSE) %>%
ageR::pb()
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the “pipe” operator, you can run the following code:
out <- ageR::pb(ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", cpus = 2))
`%>%` <- magrittr::`%>%`
out <- ageR::Bacon(wdir = "./", entity = "X", cpus = 8, verbose = FALSE) %>%
ageR::pb()
