astrochron: A Computational Tool for Astrochronology
Description
This software provides routines for astrochronologic testing, astronomical time scale construction, and time series analysis <doi:10.1016/j.earscirev.2018.11.015>. Also included are a range of statistical analysis and modeling routines that are relevant to time scale development and paleoclimate analysis.
