ADMUR - Ancient Demographic Modelling Using Radiocarbon
Statistical tools to directly model underlying population
dynamics using date datasets (radiocarbon and other). Various
model structures can be tested including Continuous Piecewise
Linear (CPL) models that are flexible to estimate any complex
population dynamics, Uniform, Exponential, Gaussian, Cauchy,
Sinusoidal, Logistic and Power law. Bayesian parameter
estimates of population models. Taphonomic loss included
optionally as a power function. Model comparison framework
using BIC. Package also calibrates 14C samples, generates
Summed Probability Distributions (SPD), and performs SPD
simulation analysis to generate a Goodness-of-fit test for the
best selected model. Details about the method can be found in
