Changes in version 0.2.2 (13th October, 2017)

Miscellaneous

• Update error messages and tests
• Add vignette “RLumModel - Simulating luminescence in Al₂O₃”
• Change vignettes from PDF to HTML

Changes in version 0.2.1 (13th April, 2017)

Miscellaneous

• Fix CRAN NOTE for not declared entry points.
• Expand tests.

Bugfixes and changes:

• simulate_LM_OSL():
  • Right call to .set_ODE_Rcpp_LM_OSL

Changes in version 0.2.0 (20th January, 2017)

New functions:

• set_ODE_Rcpp() & set_ODE_Rcpp():
  • Changed the main calculations of the ODEs to C++ via Rcpp. This results in an extreme fast calculation of ODE calcualtions. Slow calculations like DRT or SAR can be solved much faster now.
• simulate_RF_and_heating():
  • Simulating the process of heating/cooling a sample and detect luminescence during irradiation.

Bugfixes and changes:

• calc_concentrations():
  • Add maximum change of concentration in specific level to slot ‘info’ in every RLum.Data.Curve.
• calc_signal():
  • As a result of the changes in ‘set_pars’ the index of the luminescence center changed. This was adjusted in ‘calc_signal’.
• model_LuminescenceSignals():
  • Add new parameter ‘own_parameters’: Parameter to submit an own parameter set for simulations. For further details see vignette ‘RLumModel - Using own parameter sets’.
  • Add new parameter ‘own_state_parameters’: Parameter to submit own state parameters together with an own parameter set.
  • Add new parameter ‘own_start_temperature’: Parameter to submit own start temperature together with an own parameter set.
• set_pars():
  • Changed order in the vectors N, E, s, A, B: The luminescence center is now always the last entry. This was necessary to use OTOR models with own parameters much easier.
  • Output is now a list and not a RLum.Results object.
  • Add new parameter set “Friedrich2017”.
  • Add new case ‘customized’ for own parameter sets.
• simulate_CW_OSL():
  • Remove ‘RLumModel_ID’ from slot info to slot .pid. This RLumModel_ID describes the order of the command in the sequence.
• simulate_irradiation():
  • New distinction of cases adding the possibility to use own pair-production-rates.
  • argument ‘dose = 0’ is now possible without error (#4, thanks to Christoph Burow)
• simulate_LM_OSL():
  • Remove ‘RLumModel_ID’ from slot info to slot .pid. This RLumModel_ID describes the order of the command in the sequence.
• simulate_RF():
  • Remove ‘RLumModel_ID’ from slot ‘info’ to slot .pid. This RLumModel_ID describes the order of the command in the sequence.
  • New distinction of cases adding the possibility to use own pair-production-rates.
• simulate_TL():
  • Remove ‘RLumModel_ID’ from slot info to slot .pid. This RLumModel_ID describes the order of the command in the sequence.
• tests:
  • Expanded tests
• translate_sequence():
  • Hardcoded originator from returning object to “model_LuminescenceSignals()”
  • Add ‘sequence’ to slot ‘info’ in returning RLum.Analysis object.
  • Add ‘originators’ to slot ‘info’ in returning RLum.Analysis object.

Changes in version 0.1.2 (2nd September, 2016)

Bugfixes and changes:

• Added vignette:
  • Added vignette ‘Getting started with RLumModel’.
• set_ODE():
  • Remove ‘b’, ‘temp’, ‘R’ and ‘P’ from unpacking, because these parameters are already stored in parameters.step.
  • Remove distinction of cases ‘model = Pagonis’ or ‘model = Bailey’ due to a misstake in Bailey 2001, 2002 and 2004. The rate equation for the valence band is wrong. Thanks to an unknown reviewer of Friedrich et al. 2016.
• set_ODE_LM_OSL():
  • Remove ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘temp’, ‘R’ and ‘P’ from unpacking, because these parameters are already stored in parameters.step.
  • Remove distinction of cases ‘model = Pagonis’ or ‘model = Bailey’ due to a misstake in Bailey 2001, 2002 and 2004. The rate equation for the valence band is wrong. Thanks to an unknown reviewer of Friedrich et al. 2016.
• simulate_CW_OSL():
  • Changed ode solver to ‘ode’ with method ‘bdf’ for faster solving long illumination times.
• simulate_illumination():
  • Changed ode solver to ‘ode’ with method ‘bdf’ for faster solving long illumination times.
• simulate_irradiation():
  • Changed choice of pair-production-rate ‘R’, so that Bailey 2004 has the right value of 2.5e10.
• simulate_LM_OSL():
  • Changed ode solver to ‘ode’ with method ‘bdf’ for faster solving long illumination times.
• simulate_RF():
  • Changed choice of pair-production-rate ‘R’, so that Bailey 2004 has the right value of 2.5e10.

Changes in version 0.1.1 (2nd May, 2016)

• Changed tests because of new package structure of ‘testthat’.

Changes in version 0.1.0 (3rd February, 2016)

• Initial version
