eratosthenes: Archaeological Synchronism
Estimation of unknown historical or archaeological dates subject to relationships with other relative dates and absolute constraints, derived as marginal densities from the full joint conditional, using a two-stage Gibbs sampler with consistent batch means to assess convergence. Features reporting on Monte Carlo standard errors, as well as tools for rule-based estimation of dates of production and use of artifact types, aligning and checking relative sequences, and evaluating the impact of the omission of relative/absolute events upon one another.
