TError
TError is a Matlab package designed to quantify the uncertainty of eruption source parameters calculated from tephra deposits. Inputs of the code are a range of field-based, model-based and empirical parameters (i.e., clast diameter, crosswind and downwind ranges, thickness measurement, area of isopach contours, bulk deposit density, empirical constants and wind speed).
TError is maintained on GitHub and was published in Statistics in Volcanology as Biass S, Bagheri G, Aeberhard W, Bonadonna C (2014) TError: towards a better quantification of the uncertainty propagated during the characterization of tephra deposits. Stat Volcanol 1:1–27.
