Description

Usage

timeOptTemplateSim(dat,template=NULL,corVal=NULL,numsim=2000,rho=NULL,sedmin=0.5,sedmax=5,
         difmin=NULL,difmax=NULL,fac=NULL,numsed=50,linLog=1,limit=T,fit=1,fitModPwr=T,
         iopt=3,flow=NULL,fhigh=NULL,roll=NULL,targetE=NULL,targetP=NULL,

Value

QUESTION: is this correct?

if output = 1, a data frame containing the following will be returned: Sedimentation rate (cm/ka), r-squared value for instantaneous amplitude vs. fitted periods, r-squared value for fit to specified periods, r-squared*r-squared.

if output = 2, a data frame containing the following will be returned: Time (ka), tuned time series, bandpassed series, instantaneous amplitude, fitted periods.

Arguments

dat

Stratigraphic series for modulation assessment. First column should be depth or height (in meters), second column should be data value.

template

Instantaneous sedimentation rate template to fit. This represents a unitless proportional sedimentation rate history. Default template is a copy of dat, which will be scaled for instantaneous accumulation optimization.

corVal

r2opt value for data. By default this will be calculated.

numsim

Number of Monte Carlo AR1 simulations.

rho

AR1 coefficient to use in simulations. By default this will be estimated from the stratigraphic series.

sedmin

Minimum AVERAGE sedimentation rate for investigation (cm/ka).

sedmax

Maximum AVERAGE sedimentation rate for investigation (cm/ka).

difmin

Minimum instantaneous sedimentation rate to investigate (cm/ka).

difmax

Maximum instantaneous sedimentation rate to investigate (cm/ka). By default, this is ignored, and fac is used.

fac

Maximum instantaneous accumulation factor. Maximum rate is scaled to each investigated sedrate as fac*sedrate. Default value of 5 is based on experimentation. If larger than this, risk getting into local minimum during fit.

numsed

Number of sedimentation rates to investigate in optimization grid.

linLog

Use linear or logarithmic scaling for sedimentation rate grid spacing? (0=linear, 1=log)

limit

Limit evaluated sedimentation rates to region in which full target signal can be recovered? (T or F)

fit

Test for (1) precession amplitude modulations or (2) short eccentricity amplitude modulations? fit= 2 is not yet functional.

fitModPwr

Include the modulation periods in the spectral fit? (T or F)

iopt

Optimize on (1) modulations, (2) power, (3) mod*power

flow

Low frequency cut-off for Taner bandpass (half power point; in cycles/ka)

fhigh

High frequency cut-off for Taner bandpass (half power point; in cycles/ka)

roll

Taner filter roll-off rate, in dB/octave. Default value is 10^3.

targetE

A vector of eccentricity periods to evaluate (in ka). These must be in order of decreasing period, with first value of 405 ka.

targetP

A vector of precession periods to evaluate (in ka). These must be in order of decreasing period.

cormethod

Method used for calculation of correlation coefficient (1=Pearson, 2=Spearman)

detrend

Remove linear trend from data series? (T or F)

detrendTemplate

Remove linear trend from sedimentation rate template? (T or F)

flipTemplate

Flip direction of sedimentation rate template? (T or F)

ncores

Number of cores to use for parallel processing

output

Which results you like to return to console? (0) no output; (1) return sedimentation rate grid, p, r, r*p; (2) return optimal time series, bandpassed series, Hilbert and fitted periods

genplot

Generate summary plots? (T or F)

check

Conduct compliance checks before processing? (T or F) In general this should be activated; the option is included for Monte Carlo simulation.

verbose

Verbose output? (T or F)

Details

TimeOpt employs a probabilistic linear regression model framework to investigate amplitude modulation and frequency ratios (bundling) in stratigraphic data, while simultaneously determining the optimal time scale. This function further develops the method to optimize upon complex sedimentation templates. The approach is demonstrated below with a series of examples.

The statistical significance of the r^2_opt is determined via Monte Carlo simulation (see timeOptSim). See timeOpt for more information on the basic methodology.
