Description
Significance Tests for Palaeoenvironmental Reconstructions.
Description
Several tests of quantitative palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from microfossil assemblages, including the null model tests of the statistically significant of reconstructions developed by Telford and Birks (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2011.03.002>, and tests of the effect of spatial autocorrelation on transfer function model performance using methods from Telford and Birks (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.12.020> and Trachsel and Telford (2016) <doi:10.5194/cp-12-1215-2016>. Age-depth models with generalized mixed-effect regression from Heegaard et al (2005) <doi:10.1191/0959683605hl836rr> are also included.

palaeoSig
PalaeoSig includes the methods developed in:
Telford and Birks (2011) for testing the significance of transfer function reconstructions.
Telford and Birks (2009) for evaluating transfer function performance in spatially autocorrelated environments.
Heegaard et al. (2005) for an age-depth modelling procedure
Minchin (1987) for the simulation of community data, base on COMPAS.
