NAME
foldtest.py
DESCRIPTION
does a fold test (Tauxe, 2007) on data
INPUT FORMAT
dec inc dip_direction dip
SYNTAX
foldtest.py [-h][-i][command line options]
OPTIONS
-h prints help message and quits
-i for interactive parameter entry
-f FILE
-k kappa for distribution of bedding poles
OUTPUT
Geographic: is an equal area projection of the input data in
original coordinates
Stratigraphic: is an equal area projection of the input data in
tilt adjusted coordinates
% Untilting: The dashed (red) curves are representative plots of
maximum eigenvalue (tau_1) as a function of untilting
The solid line is the cumulative distribution of the
% Untilting required to maximize tau for all the
bootstrapped data sets. The dashed vertical lines
are 95% confidence bounds on the % untilting that yields
the most clustered result (maximum tau_1).
Command line: prints out the bootstrapped iterations and
finally the confidence bounds on optimum untilting.
If the 95% conf bounds include 0, then a pre-tilt magnetization is indicated
If the 95% conf bounds include 100, then a post-tilt magnetization is indicated
If the 95% conf bounds exclude both 0 and 100, syn-tilt magnetization is
possible as is vertical axis rotation or other pathologies
