Reducing computation time in the R-package ‘BayLum’
F. Baumgarten, Anne Philippe, G. Guérin, Sebastian Kreutzer · Ancient TL · 2023
‘BayLum’ is an R-package that facilitates the application of Bayesian models to the field of OSL dating. Here we present two recent feature updates to ‘BayLum’, significantly reducing computation time and improving general use. The first feature allows users to parallelize the computations involved in the MCMC sampling of values, while the second introduces the ability to extend a ‘BayLum’ model, which has run to completion without converging. All updates are automatically available with ‘BayLum’ v0.3.1.
