A robust Partial Least-Squares (PLS) method is implemented that is robust to outliers in the residuals as well as to leverage points. A specific weighting scheme is applied which avoids iterations, and leads to a highly efficient robust PLS estimator.

An approach to age-depth modelling that uses Bayesian statistics to reconstruct accumulation histories for '210Pb'-dated deposits using prior information. It can combine '210Pb', radiocarbon, and other dates in the chronologies. See Aquino 'et' 'al.' (2018) <doi:10.1007/s13253-018-0328-7>. Note that parts of the code underlying 'rplum' are derived from the 'rbacon' package by the same authors. Subsequent versions of 'rplum' and 'rbacon' are planned to reduce duplication, with 'rplum' importing 'rbacon' instead.
