摘要: Computer applications in mining geology include the implementation of formal statistical procedures, as well editing, display and summarization typically voluminous data. Besides standard procedures estimation means, variances other parameters, calculation confidence intervals, hypotheses tests analyses variance, geologists use less familiar procedures. In exploration delineation ore deposits, these such fields multivariate analysis, operations research methods analysis trace element data (particularly gold assays). This review article emphasizes some that may be interest to than mining.
