Detecting subtle hydrochemical anomalies with multivariate statistics: an example from ‘homogeneous’ groundwaters in the Great Artesian Basin,Australia     

Bethany O'Shea  Jerzy Jankowski 《水文研究》2006,20(20):4317-4333

The major ion composition of Great Artesian Basin groundwater in the lower Namoi River valley is relatively homogeneous in chemical composition. Traditional graphical techniques have been combined with multivariate statistical methods to determine whether subtle differences in the chemical composition of these waters can be delineated. Hierarchical cluster analysis and principal components analysis were successful in delineating minor variations within the groundwaters of the study area that were not visually identified in the graphical techniques applied. Hydrochemical interpretation allowed geochemical processes to be identified in each statistically defined water type and illustrated how these groundwaters differ from one another. Three main geochemical processes were identified in the groundwaters: ion exchange, precipitation, and mixing between waters from different sources. Both statistical methods delineated an anomalous sample suspected of being influenced by magmatic CO₂ input. The use of statistical methods to complement traditional graphical techniques for waters appearing homogeneous is emphasized for all investigations of this type.

Mixture models and atypical values     

N. A. Campbell 《Mathematical Geology》1984,16(5):465-477

The resolution of a mixture of two or more populations into its component distributions may be markedly influenced by one or a few atypical values. The maximum likelihood solution effectively assigns (part of) each observation to one or another of the components via the posterior probabilities, even though the observation may be widely discrepant from all components. This paper presents a modification of the mixture problem, in which the typicality of each observation is considered, as well as the posterior probabilities, with the contribution of atypical observations being downweighted. The extension to the multivariate case is discussed.  相似文献   

Use of multivariate statistical methods in data-base maintenance     

Douglas M. Hawkins  Desmond S. Kew 《Mathematical Geology》1974,6(1):47-57

Multivariate statistical methods may be used to enhance large data bases by predicting missing information and verifying unchecked data vectors. In addition, new techniques may be used for exploratory purposes to investigate the interrelationships between variables. The techniques are being applied successfully in coal mining.  相似文献

Application of a neural network model in establishing a stage–discharge relationship for a tidal river     

Seree Supharatid 《水文研究》2003,17(15):3085-3099

This paper presents the applicability of neural network (NN) modelling for forecasting and filtering problems. The multilayer feedforward (MLFF) network was first constructed to forecast the tidal‐level variations at the mouth of the River Chao Phraya in Thailand. Unlike the well‐known conventional harmonic analysis, the NN model uses a set of previous data for learning and then forecasting directly the time‐series of tidal levels. It was found that lead time of 1 to 24 hourly tidal levels can be predicted successfully using only a short‐time hourly learning data. The MLFF network was further used to establish a stage–discharge relationship for the tidal river. The results show a considerably better performance of the NN model over the conventional models. In addition, the stage–discharge relationship obtained by the NN model can indicate reasonably well the important behaviour of the tidal influences. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

On minimum spanning trees and the intergradation of clusters     

Steven M. Warshauer  Richard Smosna 《Mathematical Geology》1981,13(3):225-235

Cluster analysis groups samples, but does not generally show gradations between clusters. To illustrate these relationships, principal-coordinate analysis and multidimensional scaling can be employed, but these methods may not be appropriate due to structural distortion. A minimum spanning tree (MST) computes a point-to-point path through the original matrix, and clusters are mapped on the MST diagram. The MST linkages, therefore, provide a natural continuum between the clusters, without distortion. Forty-six Silurian Tonoloway Limestone samples were analyzed for 16 sedimentary features indicative of subaerial exposure. Cluster analysis identified nine clusters which were reduced to five final, ordered groups by MST.  相似文献

选择日照市的东港区和岚山区为研究区,采集了445个0～20 cm表层土壤样品,并测定了10种重金属元素的含量;采用多元统计和地统计分析,揭示了研究区土壤重金属污染的主要来源以及与土地利用、成土母质之间的关系,绘制了重金属的环境风险概率的空间分布图.结果表明:①As、Co、Cr和Cu的平均值低于山东省东部地区土壤背景值,Cd、Hg、Mn、Ni、Pb和Zn的平均值高于背景值,尤其是Cd、Hg的含量分别为背景值的1.85和1.38倍,土壤中重金属累积较为明显.②10种元素可被辩识出4个主成分(PCs),PC1 (Co、Cr、Mn、Ni和Zn)和PC3 (As、Cu)为自然源因子,PC2 (Cd、Pb)为工农业及交通源因子,PC4(Hg)为工业源因子;其中Pb、Zn在PC1和PC3上均有较大载荷,受地质背景和人类活动的共同控制.③Cd、Hg含量在不同的覆被类型有显著差异,在城镇建设用地的含量最高;Co、Cr、Cu、Mn和Ni在花岗岩和变质岩母质的含量高,与冲积与海积物母质有较大差异.④来自于同一主成分的元素及元素组合的环境风险空间格局与相应主成分插值结果基本一致,所有重金属综合环境风险的高值区在西部和东部呈点状分布,主要是由西部的高地质背景和东部的强烈人为干扰的综合作用造成的.  相似文献   

Reconstruction of Three-Dimensional Pacific Temperature with Argo and Satellite Observations     

《大气与海洋》2012,50(4):116-128

Combining Argo temperature and salinity profiles with satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST), weekly three-dimensional temperature fields of the Pacific Ocean were reconstructed for the period January 2000 to December 2010. The data reconstruction methodology we used has three salient features: the first is a combined application of the Optimal Interpolation (OI) and the Multivariate Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Function (MDINEOF) methods, the second is an emphasis on the multivariate nature of the vertical thermohaline structure, and the third is the inclusion of a continuous satellite-derived SST dataset to compensate for the discontinuities and the lack of surface observations in Argo data. Comparisons with other observations and data products indicate that our gridded temperature product is able to capture the main features of temperature distribution as well as its variability from intraseasonal to interannual time scales, thus providing a useful new dataset for ocean and climate studies.

RÉSUMÉ?[Traduit par la rédaction] En combinant les profils de température et de salinité Argo avec les températures de la surface de la mer dérivées des données satellitaires, nous avons reconstruit les champs tridimensionnels hebdomadaires de température de l'océan Pacifique pour la période de janvier 2000 à décembre 2010. La méthodologie de reconstruction des données que nous avons utilisée présente trois points saillants : le premier est une application combinée des méthodes de l'interpolation optimale et de la fonction orthogonale empirique d'interpolation de données multivariées (MDINEOF), le deuxième est une mise en évidence de la nature multivariée de la structure thermohaline verticale et le troisième est l'inclusion d'un ensemble continu de données de température de la surface de la mer dérivées des données satellitaires pour compenser les discontinuités et le manque d'observations de surface dans les données Argo. Les comparaisons avec d'autres observations et produits de données montrent que notre produit de températures à des points de grille est capable de discerner les caractéristiques principales de la distribution des températures de même que sa variabilité de l’échelle intrasaisonnière à l’échelle interannuelle, ce qui fournit un nouvel ensemble de données utile pour les études océaniques et climatiques.  相似文献

舟山近海日本囊对虾(Marsupenaeus japonicus)野生群体与露天养殖越冬群体间的形质差异     

富裕  李鸿鹏  任夙艺  王志铮  林祖好 《海洋与湖沼》2016,47(1):91-98

鉴于舟山沿海日本囊对虾秋苗养殖成活率显著低于春季和夏季人工养殖苗种之实际,深入开展适合于本地沿海养殖的日本囊对虾秋苗的优质亲体的选种研究显得十分必要。为此,作者采用聚类分析、主成分分析和判别分析等方法定量研究了舟山近海日本囊对虾野生群体和露天池塘越冬养成群体间的形质特征差异。结果表明:两者在本研究所涉18项形质评价指标中的相似性指数仅为11.11%,欧氏距离为4.243(P0.01);经主成分分析,提取到的5个特征值均大于1的主成分,累计贡献率达85.27%,其中第1主成分为以营养生理状况指数、额剑上缘锯齿数以及腹部肌肉发达程度为主导的体质强壮因子,第2主成分为以寻食视野与胸腔空间大小为主导的捕食运动功能因子,后3个主成分为以尾节肌肉发达程度为主导的避敌运动功能因子;采用逐步判别法,以判别贡献率较大的9项形质评价指标为自变量,所建Fisher分类函数方程组可清晰区分日本囊对虾野生群体和越冬养成群体,其中野生群体的判别准确率P1、P2分别为99.33%和96.13%,越冬养成群体的判别准确率P1、P2分别为96%和99.31%,两者综合判别准确率为97.67%。因此,日本囊对虾秋苗野生亲本形质特征的选择,应以秋苗越冬养成群体为参照。  相似文献
