摘要: Abstract The objectives of this paper are: 1. (1) A brief discussion where and how computer techniques which are based on mathematical models can be used in geology. 2. (2) summary recent developments for geological problems. 3. (3) more detailed some general, statistical with applications to practical examples. It is shown that methods trend analysis a single variable should modified when ( ) the residuals autocorrelated, b computations carried out using transformed data variable. technique two-dimensional power spectrum employed quantitative description periodicities arrangement grains gabbroic rocks from Muskox Layered Intrusion, Canada. Finally, multivariate system (chemical Yellowknife Volcanic Belt, Canada) analyzed by Markov scheme method. Brief explanations number non-geological terms given an appendix.
