Set or get Ar-Ar_Redux parameters

Description

This function is used to query and modify the half lives, standard ages etc. associated with an object of class redux

Usage

param(X, ...)

Arguments

X

an object of class redux

...

any combination of the parameters given below

Details

param grants access to the following parameters:

l0: 40K decay constant (default value = 5.5492e-4 Ma-1, Renne et al. [2010])
sl0: standard error of the 40K decay constant (default value = 0.0047e-4 Ma-1)
l7: 37Ar decay constant (default value = 7.2438 yr-1, Renne and Norman [2001])
sl7: standard error of the 37Ar decay constant (default value = 0.0083 yr-1)
l9: 39Ar decay constant (0.002577 yr-1 Stoenner et al. [1965])
sl9: standard error of the 39Ar decay constant (0.000014 yr-1)
l6: 36Cl decay constant (default value = 2301.3e-9 yr-1)
sl6: standard error of the 36Cl decay constant (default value = 7.6e-9 yr-1
pcl: (36Cl/38Cl)-production rate (default value = 252.7 for OSTR reactor, Renne et al. [2008])
spcl: standard error of the (36Cl/38Cl)-production rate (default value = 1.8)
ts: age of the fluence monitor (default = 28.201 Myr for the Fish Canyon Tuff, Kuiper et al. [2008])
sts: standard error of the fluence monitor age (default value = 0.023 Myr)
air: atmospheric 40Ar/36Ar ratio (default value = 298.56, Lee et al. [2006])
sair: standard error of the atmospheric 40Ar/36Ar ratio (default value = 0.155)

Value

returns the modified redux object OR the current parameter values if no optional arguments are supplied.

Examples

data(Melbourne)
param(Melbourne$X)$air
Y <- param(Melbourne$X,air=295.5)
