Welcome to NiLeDAM project!
NiLeDAM stands for "Monazite Datation for the NiLeDAM team". It provides facilities for geologists to date monazite using electron microprobe analysis (EPMA).
The project summary page can be found here, the package can be downloaded here or directly installed in R by typing:
install.packages("NiLeDAM", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
in R. The additional package nleqslv is required to install NiLeDAM.
Afraid of R? I made for you a graphical interface that does not require any specific knowledge in R programming. It is based on shiny and the script is available on GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/tuxette/niledam.git
