draw_rc_meas_using_date.RdGiven input calendar dates t_e, simulate the radiocarbon measurement process to yield a fraction modern and uncertainty. error_spec is a list with named type and additional fields specifying the parameters. Currently only type unif_fm (for uniform fraction modern) is supported, which makes a uniform draw on the interval min to max for the uncertainty of the fraction modern value, where min and max are fields in error_spec giving the boundaries of the uniform draw. By default, t_e is assumed to be calBP, but can be AD (more more precisely, 1950 - BP value) if is_AD is True.
draw_rc_meas_using_date(t_e, calib_df, error_spec, is_AD = F)
| t_e | A vector of event dates (calBP by default) |
|---|---|
| calib_df | The calibration dataframe, with columns year_BP, uncal_year_BP, and uncal_year_BP_error |
| error_spec | A list with entries type and parameter values specifying how to add uncertainty to the simulated measurement. Currently, only type = "unif_fm" is supported, for which the parameters min and max must be in error_spec. |
| is_AD | Whether t_e is cal_BP or AD (optional; default: |
