BayLum 0.3.2 (2024-06-16)

This version of 'BayLum' requires R>=4.1.x!

New functions

create_DataFile()

This function attempts to ease the very pain-stacking process of input data processing (BIN/BINX files) so that it can be used in the 'BayLum' modelling. The function is an entirely new development and will replace the functions Generate_DataFile_MG() and Generate_DataFile() in future versions of 'BayLum'. Key features:

• Only one function for single-grain and multiple-grain data
• Support for BIN/BINX and XSYG files and RLum.Analysis-class objects, i.e. the data can be imported independently of the data file creation
• A new single-file configuration based on the YAML format. This makes the old error-prone folder structure obsolete
• Various internal consistency checks to avoid input data are erroneousness; which may lead to very hard to-track-down error messages
• Carries information about the number of samples and the sample names

plot_RegDosePoints()

• The function will replace the deprecated fucntion LT_RegenDose(), which was too error-prone and complicated to maintain.

write_YAMLConfigFile()

This function supplements create_DataFile() supporting auto-generated YAML config template files
