Supplementary data and code for "A Bayesian framework for inferring regional and global change from stratigraphic proxy records (StratMC v1.0)"

This repository contains code and inference results for the synthetic experiments in the journal article "A Bayesian framework for inferring regional and global change from stratigraphic proxy records (StratMC v1.0)" (Edmonsond & Dyer, 2025). The associated Python package, StratMC, is archived at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13281935, along with a supplementary User Manual. The latest version of the StratMC package can be installed from the Github repository or via the PyPI installer (pip install stratmc). The current package documentation is available at https://stratmc.readthedocs.io/. 

The notebooks.zip archive contains Jupyter notebooks that can be used to re-run each synthetic experiment or to load and analyze the original inference results. To run these notebooks, extract the traces.zip archive (which contains NetCDF files with the posterior traces for each experiment) and the data.zip archive into the notebooks directory. StratMC also must be installed on your machine. 

To reduce file sizes, the posteriors in traces.zip have been thinned by removing every third draw (the original traces had 1,000 draws per chain; the provided traces have 666 draws per chain). Thinning has no effect on the results.
