Input data file formats¶

Here we explain the formats of data files that can be read for Detrital MC.

In addition to the input file (input/det_mc_input.txt), Detrtial MC can read observed/measured age data and three different formats of predicted age data. Each are described in more detail below.

Please check the rest of the documentation for more detailed explanations of how other parts the software operate.
