NAME
foldtest_magic.py
DESCRIPTION
does a fold test (Tauxe, 2007) on data
INPUT FORMAT
pmag_specimens format file, er_samples.txt format file (for bedding)
SYNTAX
foldtest_magic.py [command line options]
OPTIONS
-h prints help message and quits
-f pmag_sites formatted file [default is pmag_sites.txt]
-fsa er_samples formatted file [default is er_samples.txt]
-exc use pmag_criteria.txt to set acceptance criteria
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
