epsl-data-analysis

separate

Use when reducing and reporting data for an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript — full analytical-uncertainty budgets for isotope and geochronology data, defensible statistics (MSWD, weighted means, Bayesian age models), and inversion/model diagnostics. It guides reduction and reporting norms; it does not fabricate results.

When to use

• Reducing isotope, geochronologic, elemental, or geophysical data to reportable results
• Deciding which uncertainty terms to propagate and how to quote them
• Computing weighted means, isochrons, concordia intercepts, or Bayesian age–depth models
• Addressing reviewer requests for error budgets, MSWD, or resolution tests

When not to use

• Fabricating results
• Study design decisions
• Deposition and supplements
