AI Technical Summary
Traditional methods for identifying the background and anomalous thresholds of geochemical elements rely on the Gaussian distribution assumption, leading to erroneous conclusions. Furthermore, the original concentration data does not conform to a Gaussian distribution, resulting in identification results that do not reflect geological facts.
Using equidistant logarithmic ratios and fractal theory, fractal processing was performed on the data through ILR transformation. The background anomaly boundary was determined by fitting the function using the least squares method, and the threshold was determined by the QQ plot.
It enables more accurate identification of nonlinear element distribution characteristics, effectively identifies the background of non-ore-forming processes and anomalies of ore-forming processes, and improves the accuracy and information content of the identification results.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of exploration geochemistry, and particularly to a background anomaly identification method based on equidistance logarithmic ratio and fractal theory. BACKGROUND
[0002] Identifying background and anomaly threshold is an important content of exploration geochemistry work. Accurate identification of background and anomaly threshold can effectively understand the element distribution characteristics and provide decision support for mineral exploration work. Traditionally, the threshold of element background and anomaly is based on the assumption that the original concentration data obeys Gaussian distribution, and is realized by mathematical statistics such as iterative removal of average value plus or minus several times (generally 1, 2, 2.5, 3 times) deviation. But the original concentration data is a component data, and the closure operation causes the element concentration to be not an independent random variable, which does not meet the premise requirement of some mathematical statistics methods, and direct statistical analysis of the original concentration data may produce wrong conclusions. The component data theory can better solve this problem, but the ALR conversion of P-dimensional original concentration data can only produce P-1-dimensional effective variables, and the ALR conversion does not preserve distance. Although the CLR conversion can produce P-dimensional equidistant effective variables, it will lead to singular covariance, and the ILR not only preserves distance, but also converts the information consistent with the original information.
[0003] The distribution of elements in the earth does not conform to Gaussian distribution. The material composition of the earth is affected by multiple geological processes in the evolution history. The concentration of each element is the result of the superposition of multiple geological processes. Its distribution has nonlinear characteristics and obeys fractal statistics in most cases, not Gaussian distribution. The background and anomaly threshold identified by the traditional statistical analysis method may not conform to the geological facts.
[0004] Therefore, a background anomaly identification method based on equidistance logarithmic ratio and fractal theory is proposed. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a geochemical element background and anomaly threshold identification method based on equidistance logarithmic ratio and fractal theory to solve the above problems.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:
[0007] A background anomaly identification method based on equidistance logarithmic ratio and fractal theory, comprising: performing ILR conversion on chemical components according to component data theory, performing fractal processing on the ILR conversion data, determining the background anomaly boundary by a least square method fitting function, and determining the background and anomaly threshold by the data close to the third quantile (75%) on the Q-Q graph.
[0008] The specific steps of the present application are as follows:
[0009] S1. Clean the data and remove samples with element concentration values below the detection limit;
[0010] S2. Calculate the logarithmic ratio of each element of the qualified sample , where m is the component to be analyzed, n is the number of components, and i is any other component not including m;
[0011] S3, statistics greater than or equal to a specific The number of samples N of the value, calculate its corresponding logarithm ;
[0012] S4. The logarithmic ratio of the element m to be studied for all qualified samples and its corresponding Perform scatter plotting;
[0013] S5. Perform least squares fitting on the scatter plot generated in S4. The number of fitted lines is determined by the specific shape of the scatter plot, and the fitting criterion is the coefficient of determination R of each line. 2 Greater than or equal to 0.75, that is:
[0014]
[0015] Among them, A and B are obtained by least squares fitting, and the slope A of different straight lines is different;
[0016] S6. Adjacent fitted straight lines will form intersections, and record the intersections they represent. value;
[0017] S7. Drawing QQ graph, determine the intersection points The first value close to the 3rd quantile The original concentration C m The background and anomaly thresholds are defined, and the remaining intersection points are set as anomaly thresholds of varying levels, based on the size of the original concentration values they represent. "Close to the 3rd quantile" means that the distance between its quantile value and the tertile is the shortest.
[0018] Furthermore, the original concentration data are transformed into the central logarithm ratio (ILR) according to the compositional data theory, and the concentration and sample number are identified as abnormalities according to the fractal theory. The denominator in the ILR transformation step can be the content of all other elements, or the content of the element to be studied and the constraint constant 1 minus the content of the element to be studied m. The identified background and anomalies have nonlinear distribution properties.
[0019] Compared with the existing technical methods, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The isometric log ratio converted by the component data theory obeys Gaussian distribution, and the statistical result can better reflect the element distribution characteristics than the original concentration; the isometric log ratio processed by the component data theory is consistent with the information of the original concentration data, and the information quantity of the result is better than that of the additive log ratio and the central log ratio. Through the isometric log ratio and the fractal study of the sample number logarithm, the background formed by non-mineralization process and the anomaly formed by mineralization process can be accurately identified.
