A Bayesian analysis of luminescence dating.

摘要: Luminescence dating is a widespread method used in the fields of archaeology and Quaternary science. As an experimental it subject to various uncertainties determination parameters that are evaluate age. The need express these fully, combined with prior archaeological knowledge commonly available, motivates development Bayesian approach assessment age based on luminescence data. procedure dissected into its component parts, each considered individually before being find posterior distribution. We use multi-sample calibration palaeodose first stage model, consider problem identifying plateau data, then this, along annual dose, estimate true sample modelled, incorporating any information both for individual collection samples related ages.
