PEAKS IN PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

The modes in the distribution are found by inspecting the derivatives

of the probability density as a function of Z.

Probability distribution uses grain-only standard errors.

Total probability mass integrates to N (= number of grains).

Probability density is given as grains per delta Z=0.1.

At 50 Ma, delta Z=0.1 is equivalent to a time interval of 5 m.y.

PEAKS IN PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

The modes in the distribution are found by inspecting the derivatives

of the probability density as a function of Z.

Probability distribution uses grain-only standard errors.

Total probability mass integrates to N (= number of grains).

Probability density is given as grains per delta Z=0.1.

At 50 Ma, delta Z=0.1 is equivalent to a time interval of 5 m.y.

Kernel factor = .6 (Ratio of kernel window size to standard error)

Number of grains = 15

PEAKS IN PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

The modes in the distribution are found by inspecting the derivatives

of the probability density as a function of Z.

Probability distribution uses grain-only standard errors.

Total probability mass integrates to N (= number of grains).

Probability density is given as grains per delta Z=0.1.

At 50 Ma, delta Z=0.1 is equivalent to a time interval of 5 m.y.

Total range for grain ages = 1.66 to 9.51 Ma

First Search: peaks with zero first derivatives.

Second search: find minima in the second derivative of the Gaussian

probability density function.
