Fractal/multifractal modeling of geochemical data: A review

摘要: Abstract Over the past several decades, a wide range of complex structures or phenomena interest to geologists and geochemists has been quantitatively characterized using fractal/multifractal theory models. With respect application models geochemical data, focus on how decompose populations quantify spatial distribution data. A variety for this purpose have proposed basis scaling characteristics These include concentration–area (C-A) fractal model, concentration–distance (C-D) spectrum–area (S-A) multifractal singularity analysis, concentration–volume (C-V) model. widely demonstrated be useful, as indicated by increasing number published papers. In study, modeling data including its theory, way it works, benefits limitations, applications, relationships between these are reviewed. The comparison among C-A, S-A, analysis based simulated suggested that mapping technique can enhance identify weak anomalies caused buried sources. Future study should distinguish true associated mineralization with false from perspective.
