rcarbon v1.2.0

• Bug fix in SPpermTest(): Functions was not working when not running when raw=FALSE and ncores=1.
• Bug fix in summary() for the output of modelTest(): The number of bins reported was incorrect.
• UPDATE: binsense() requires a smaller number of non-optional arguments and allows for binning based on median calibrated dates.
• UPDATE: plot() function for geometric growth rates now allows for BC/AD calendar display.
• UPDATE: binPrep() can now group dates based on median calibrated dates.
• UPDATE: modelTest()can now test SPD generated from multiple calibration curves.
• UPDATE: modelTest() now uses randomised back-calibration for the 'calsample' method.
• UPDATE: uncalibrate()'s random back-calibration now utilises both the user supplied lab error and the error of the calibration curve.
• NEW: mixCurves() function generates mixed terrestrial/marine calibration curves.
• Further minor updates in plot labels, help documentation, and vignette.

rcarbon v1.1.3

• Bug fix in permTest(): p-values calculation algorithm was yielding p-values of 0.
• NEW: summary() functions for the outputs of permTest() and modelTest().

rcarbon v1.1.2

• Bug Fix in calibrate(): calibration of multiple dates with different calibration curves was based on the calibration curve of the first sample.
• Bug Fix in modelTest(): back-calibration routine was ignoring user-supplied calibration curve and was solely using "intcal13".
• UPDATE: modelTest() now allows for two distinct procedures for generating random dates from fitted models.
• Minor corrections (e.g. typos) in the help documentation.

rcarbon v1.1.1

• Added a Vignette.
• Added normally-distributed (non-14C) age in calibrate().
• Fixed a bug in SPpermTest() generating opposite results (positive deviations were recorded as negative deviations) when ncores was larger than 1.
• Fixed a minor bug in the implementation of the [North el al 2002] formula
• Several changes in theplot.SpatialTest().
• NEW function: spd2gg() to convert SPD curves into geometric growth rates for given temporal blocks and an associated plot function.
• Minor updates in the documentation.

rcarbon v1.1.0

• Improved performance of modelTest() function when running with multiple cores.
• NEW function: p2pTest() for comparing point to point differences in SPD (as in Edinborough et al 2017
  )
• p-values of Monte-Carlo simulations are now all calculated using the formula in North el al 2002
• minor bug fixes

rcarbon v1.0.0

This is the first stable release of rcarbon for CRAN. The package includes functions for basic calibration, uncalibration, and plotting of one or more dates, as well as a statistical framework for building demographic and related longitudinal inferences from aggregate radiocarbon date lists.
