title: 'AgeBandDecomposition: Age Band Decomposition Method for Tree Ring Standardization'
version: 2.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.AgeBandDecomposition
abstract: Implements the Age Band Decomposition (ABD) method for standardizing tree
  ring width data, while preserving both low and high frequency variability. Unlike
  traditional detrending approaches that can distort long term growth trends, ABD
  decomposes ring width series into multiple age classes, detrends each class separately,
  and then recombines them to create standardized chronologies. This approach improves
  the detection of growth signals linked to past climatic and environmental factors,
  making it particularly valuable for dendroecological and dendroclimatological studies.
  The package provides functions to perform ABD-based standardization, to compare
  results with other common methods (e.g., BAI, C method, RCS), and facilitates the
  interpretation of growth patterns driven by environmental variability.
