This book highlights major problems in the statistical analysis of
compositions that have been known for over a century, as well as
the corresponding solutions that have been put forward by
specialists over the past 30 years. The basic assumptions of
normality or multi-normality are pointed out and methods to test
and achieve them are also covered. The conventional major and trace
element geochemistry and modeling equations are discussed, and are
followed by a more sophisticated multidimensional approach to data
handling. The book's main focus is on the use of statistical
techniques to facilitate data interpretation. It also highlights
the classification (or nomenclature) and tectonic discrimination
aspects for both igneous and sedimentary rocks. The book concludes
by discussing computer programs that are helping pave the way from
geochemistry to geochemometrics. Written by a leading expert in the
area of geochemistry, it offers a valuable guide for students and
professionals in the area.
