Package: rbacon 4.0.0

rbacon: Age-Depth Modelling using Bayesian Statistics

An approach to age-depth modelling that uses Bayesian statistics to reconstruct accumulation histories for deposits, through combining radiocarbon and other dates with prior information on accumulation rates and their variability. See Blaauw & Christen (2011).
