An approach to age-depth modelling that uses Bayesian statistics to reconstruct accumulation histories for deposits, through combining radiocarbon and other dates with prior information on accumulation rates and their variability. See Blaauw & Christen (2011).

Simulation of phenotype / genotype data under assortative mating. 
    Includes functions for generating Bahadur order-2 multivariate Bernoulli 
    variables with general and diagonal-plus-low-rank correlation structures.

An interface to the 'BaM' (Bayesian Modeling) engine, 
    a 'Fortran'-based executable aimed at estimating a model 
    with a Bayesian approach and using it for prediction,
    with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification.
    Classes are defined for the various building blocks of 
    'BaM' inference (model, data, error models, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers, predictions).
    The typical usage is as follows:
    (1) specify the model to be estimated; 
    (2) specify the inference setting (dataset, parameters, error models...);
    (3) perform Bayesian-MCMC inference;
    (4) read, analyse and use MCMC samples;
    (5) perform prediction experiments.
