Construct the Stratigraphic Constrain Matrix Interactively

This function helps to define the stratigraphic relation between samples using questions. The output of this function can be used in the function AgeS_Computation.

SCMatrix(DATA = NULL, Nb_sample, SampleNames)

Arguments

DATA: BayLum.list (with default): Object of class BayLum.list, if provided the other parameters are not any longer mandatory.
Nb_sample: integer (required): the sample number, if DATA is provided, the input is not required
SampleNames: character (required): sample names, if DATA is provided, the input is not required

Value

Returns a matrix that summarise the ordered relation between samples. This matrix can be integrate in AgeS_Computation function. We refer to detail on AgeS_Computation for more information concerning this matrix.

Details

The function will ask if sample i is younger than sample j to construct the stratigraphic constrain matrix.
