Estimation method superseded

Estimating REC model parameters with the hierarchical approach employed by the code in this repo has important limitations. An alternative has been developed that is much better. See wccarleton/chronup for a pre-release R package that contains the code needed to use the alternative estimation framework. Also see a related OSF project (https://osf.io/uascw/) and pre-print (https://osf.io/56dbt/) for details.

REC Model

This is a scientific software release intended for replication purposes and to ensure the long-term legacy support of such efforts. It pertains to the recently published paper, Carleton (2021) "Evaluating Bayesian Radiocarbon‐dated Event Count (REC) models for the study of long‐term human and environmental processes", Journal of Quaternary Science 36(1):110-123 (https://10.1002/jqs.3256).
