calRcyRcp {numOSL}

Recycling ratio and recuperation calculation

Description

Calculating recycling ratio, recuperation, and associated standard errors.

Usage

calRcyRcp(Curvedata, Ltx)

Arguments

Curvedata

matrix(required): a three-column matrix (i.e., regenerative doses,
sensitivity-corrected regenerative-dose signals, and associated standard errors)

Ltx

vector(required): a two-element vector consists of sensitivity-corrected
natural-dose signal and its error

Value

Return a list that contains the following elements:

RecyclingRatio1

the first recycling ratio and its standard error

RecyclingRatio2

the second recycling ratio and its standard error

RecyclingRatio3

the third recycling ratio and its standard error

Recuperation1

the first recuperation (i.e., ratio of the sensitivity-corrected zero-dose signal to natural-dose signal) and its standard error in percent

Recuperation2

the second recuperation (i.e., ratio of the sensitivity-corrected zero-dose signal to maximum regenerative-dose signal) and its standard error in percent

Note

If the sensitivity-corrected signals for the frist, second, and third repeated regenerative doses are R1, R2, and R3, respectively, then RecyclingRatio1=R2/R1, RecyclingRatio2=R3/R1, and
RecyclingRatio3=R3/R2.
