Journal ArticleDOI

IsoplotR: A free and open toolbox for geochronology

TL;DR: The basic principles of radiometric geochronology as implemented in a new software package called IsoplotR, which was designed to be free, flexible and future-proof, are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the visualisation of detrital age distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), a more robust alternative to the Probability Density Plot (PDP), which also involves summing a set of Gaussian distributions, but does not explicitly take into account the analytical uncertainties.
Journal ArticleDOI

How many grains are needed for a provenance study

TL;DR: In this paper, the smallest number of grains in a sample that must be dated to achieve a required level of statistical adequacy is calculated, i.e., if no fraction of the population comprising more than 0.05 of the total is missed at the 95% confidence level, at least 117 grains should be dated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-sample comparison of detrital age distributions

TL;DR: MDS is a robust and flexible superset of PCA which makes fewer assumptions about the data, and it is shown that the statistical effect size of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test is a viable dissimilarity measure.
