摘要: Birks, H.J.B., 1987. Multivariate analysis of stratigraphic data in geology: a review. Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 2: 109–126. Stratigraphic multivariate are common geology, for example as biostratigraphic, lithostratigraphic, geochemical, geophysical, morphometric or isotopic variations sections boreholes. All such character have known sequence temporal ordering samples, so-called constraints. data-analytical techniques that take specific account this permit (1) partitioning zonation the data, (2) comparison correlation (3) detection patterns (4) establishment relationships between different variables same sequence. They can also aid interpretation patterns. Recent developments these topics reviewed. In addition, problems analysing proportional transformations, possible future aimed towards an analytical phase outlined.
