BayLum: Chronological Bayesian Models Integrating Optically Stimulated Luminescence and Radiocarbon Age Dating

Bayesian analysis of luminescence data and C-14 age estimates. Bayesian models are based on the following publications: Combes, B. & Philippe, A. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2017.02.003> and Combes et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2015.04.001>. This includes, amongst others, data import, export, application of age models and palaeodose model.

Uses libs:
  • jags– Just Another Gibbs Sampler for Bayesian MCMC - binary JAGS is Just Another Gibbs Sampler. It is a program for analysis of Bayesian hierarchical models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation not wholly unlike BUGS. JAGS was written with three aims in mind: * To have an engine for the BUGS language that runs on Unix * To be extensible, allowing users to write their own functions, distributions and samplers. * To be a plaftorm for experimentation with ideas in Bayesian modelling This package contains the 'jags' binary as well as the associated shared library modules loaded by the binary.
