    Ideal granite and its properties. I. The stochastic model (1972)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 4 (1972), S. 89-102

    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Investigation of granitic rocks in the search for hidden ore deposits, restoration of their history, and understanding their special properties requires comparison of intrusive bodies. Comparisons are best made to some standard. The conception of an ideal magmatic granite as a standard is introduced in this paper. Investigation indicates that sequences of quartz grains potassium feldspars, and plagioclases of an ideal magmatic granite have definite mathematical properties.

    Notes: Abstract Based on the methods of Fisher and Watson,Fortran iv computer programs are presented for the following analyses of directional observations on the sphere: (1) to determine if points are randomly distributed; (2) to estimate the azimuth and inclination of the center (mean direction) of a cluster and to estimate the precision (closeness) with which points are clustered; (3) to determine if two or more clusters have the same mean direction; (4) to determine if two clusters have the same precision of clustering; and (5) to locate the pole of a greatcircle girdle of points. Limitations of these analyses for undirected directional observations on the hemisphere also are given.

    Some problems of interpreting the correlations between the modal variables in granitic rocks (1974)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 6 (1974), S. 245-258 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: correlation between proportions ; petrology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Correlation coefficients of modal variables from several suites of granitic rocks have been calculated and tested for significance using the Chayes-Kruskal and Chayes methods. The results show that although Chayes' remaining-space transformation does, in general, weaken the original proportion correlations, the positive and low-negative original proportion correlations tend to increase in absolute value because of a tendency of positive increment of the covariance by such transformation. However, no satisfactory procedure for choosing the variable to be transformed (V2)could be determined, and testing of the significance of remaining-space correlations is found to be highly problematic. It is shown also that the Vistelius-Sarmanov procedure of calculation of correlation coefficients from closed-table data does not effectively eliminate the closure effect. It is concluded that assigning statistical significance to the correlation coefficients between modal variables is, in general, unsatisfactory, except where the number of variables ⩾8,the sample size is large (say, ⩾30),and there is no negative element in the variance vector of the corresponding open variables.

    Counting error in petrographic point-count analysis: A theoretical and experimental study (1971)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 3 (1971), S. 15-41 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: modal analysis ; sampling ; statistics ; mineralogy ; petrology ; sedimentology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The binomial model, commonly used to estimate counting error in point-count analysis, misestimates this error when the observation points on a grid are positively or negatively correlated. A model, called the “cell model,” is proposed as an alternative to the binomial model for use in studies, especially with coarse-grained rocks, in which such correlation is known or thought to exist. In the new model the thin section is conceptually partitioned into a number of cells (six is recommended), and the assumption is made that the proportions in the individual cells are statistically independent and that their variance does not differ from cell to cell. Empirical relations obtained from a suite of 200 thin sections of limestones are in reasonable support of the prediction that large particle size adversely affects counting error estimates based on the binomial model.

    Effect of trends on correlation in open and closed three-component systems (1972)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 4 (1972), S. 317-330 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: linear correlation ; mapping ; trend analysis ; general geology ; mineralogy ; petrology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract It is well known among geologists that closure of an open-number system, as when stratigraphic rock thicknesses are converted to percentages, introduces correlations among the components even in the absence of correlations in the open system. In closed three-component systems the covariances are single-valued functions of the closed variances and are exactly predictable. If the open system has “inherent” correlation (point correlations) among its components the corresponding closed covariances reflect their presence in a predictable manner. If areal trends are present in the open system, the open covariances are themselves affected, but this “trend effect” can be completely removed to recover the initial point correlations among the components. Areal trends in open systems strongly influence the structure of the closed variance-covariance matrices, and the situation becomes increasingly complicated if the open system has both point correlations and areal trends. The paper considers the problems involved, and includes Monte Carlo runs to compare computed and predicted variances and covariances as data sets are followed from open systems with correlation but no trend to the closed equivalent of open systems with point correlations and trends.

    Preliminary assessment of a nonlinear mapping algorithm in a geological context (1973)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 5 (1973), S. 39-57 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: classification ; cluster analysis ; dimensionality reduction ; mapping ; multivariate analysis ; principal-components analysis ; general geology ; geochemistry ; paleontology ; petrology ; stratigraphy
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract A new algorithm has been developed by J. W. Sammon for the nonlinear-point mapping of high-dimensional data in two dimensions such that the inherent structure of the data is approximately preserved. This paper describes results using several sets of geologic data including stratigraphic thickness, petrographic modal analysis, and morphological or geochemical measurements. Comparisons are made with hierarchical cluster analysis using dendrogram representation. Initial results are encouraging and suggest that the technique could have widespread geological applications.

    Quantitative discrimination between magmatic units of the singhbhum granite (1971)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 3 (1971), S. 123-133 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: cluster analysis ; distance functions ; mineralogy ; petrology ; structure
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The weight-percent values of four mineralogic variables (quartz, K feldspar, color index, and muscovite) for 10 sets of granitic rocks (20–50 samples in each set) from magmatic units of the Singhbhum granite were used for (1) computation of the Mahalanobis' generalized distance functions (D 2) between all pairs of the 10 sets, (2) testing significance of the difference between the multivariate means, and (3) computation of the linear discriminant functions between all possible pairs of the sets. The 10 data sets are for six magmatic units which belong to three successive but closely related phases of emplacement. The multivariate means for all sets are significantly different except for those between two of the sets of phase I. Cluster analysis on the basis of theD 2 values enables the 10 sets to be placed into four distinct groups. Group A includes two subgroups, one of which consists of two sets representing typical members of phase I; the other subgroup includes two sets which are typical of phase II. Group B includes two sets which are typical of phase III. The other four sets do not group with the typical representatives of the three phases, probably because of certain special conditions of their emplacement. A separate series ofD 2 computation from the same data, but excluding the color index, was unsuccessful in making the four aberrant sets group with the typical members of the respective phases. Efficient LDF's could be determined for discrimination between most pairs of the 10 sets of granite rocks.

    Thoughts on use of principal component analysis in petrogenetic problems (1973)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 5 (1973), S. 341-350

    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: principal components analysis ; geochemistry ; petrology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The use of principal component analysis in studying chemical trends in volcanic rock suites is described. It is suggested that eigenvectors generated from a correlation matrix, rather than a covariance matrix, could be used in this context. In the latter situation many elements are swamped by silicon's numerical size and range. In the former situation the alkalies and titanium begin to show their true importance.

    Estimation of parameters in petrologic materials balance equations (1973)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 5 (1973), S. 225-236 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: estimation ; materials balance ; mathematics ; mixing equations ; geochemistry ; petrology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract A rigorous treatment of the least-squares estimation of the parameters in petrologic materials balance equations is developed to take into account the uncertainties inherent in the chemical analyses. The choice of the optimal estimation procedure for a particular problem is dependent upon the extent of the petrogenetic understanding of the exact nature of the materials balance involved. Some of the complications entailed in obtaining least-squares estimates are illustrated by the examples of magmatic differentiation and metamorphic reactions.

    A geomathematic investigation of syntexis in a Gabbroic formation (1973)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 5 (1973), S. 321-339 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: factor analysis ; Fourier analysis ; mapping ; petrology
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Mathematical methods were employed in an investigation of syntexis in the “Gabbro di Sondalo,” a mafic igneous formation in the Central Alps (Italy). A set of 100 specimens was selected according to sampling criteria and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence for eight elements; Q-mode and R-mode factor analysis then was applied to these data. Results of the computations indicate that the general trend of differentiation is related to the syntexis of gneissic wall rocks (“Gneiss del Monte Tonale”) in the mafic melt. Ca and Mg are abundant in the gabbro, and Si and K in the gneiss; the independent variation trend of Fe and Ti may be related to a differentiation episode due to a magmatic phase. Spatial representation of multivariate data on differentiation also was performed on the main elements and a picture of the trend of syntexis was mapped.
