AI Technical Summary
When identifying geochemical element background and anomaly thresholds, traditional methods are based on the assumption of Gaussian distribution, resulting in inaccurate analysis results and an inability to effectively reflect the nonlinear distribution characteristics of elements. In addition, existing conversion methods cannot retain the dimensions and distances of the original data.
The central logarithm ratio and fractal theory are used to transform the data through CLR and perform fractal processing. The background anomaly boundary is determined by combining the least squares fitting function, and the QQ map is used to determine the threshold.
It achieves accurate identification of element distribution characteristics and can identify the background and anomalies of nonlinear distribution. The resulting information dimension is consistent with the original data and has strong interpretability.

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 a center logarithmic ratio value and a fractal theory. BACKGROUND
[0002] Identifying background and anomaly thresholds is an important part of exploration geochemistry. Accurate identification of background and anomaly thresholds can effectively understand element distribution characteristics and provide decision support for mineral exploration. Tradically, the thresholds of element background and anomaly are based on the assumption that the original concentration data obeys Gaussian distribution, and are realized by mathematical statistics such as iterative removal of several times (generally 1, 2, 2.5, 3 times) of the average value plus or minus the deviation. However, the original concentration data is compositional 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. Direct statistical analysis of the original concentration data may produce incorrect conclusions. Compositional data theory can better solve such problems, but the ALR transformation of P-dimensional original concentration data can only produce P-1-dimensional effective variables, and the ALR transformation does not preserve distance, while the ILR transformation can only generate an effective variable consistent with the original information, and it is relatively difficult to explain. The CLR transformation can produce effective variables with the same dimension as the original data and preserve distance.
[0003] The distribution of elements in the earth does not conform to Gaussian distribution. The composition of matter on the earth is affected by multiple geological processes in the evolution history, and the concentration of each element is the result of the superposition of multiple geological processes. Its distribution has nonlinear characteristics and is subject to fractal statistics rather than Gaussian distribution. The background and anomaly thresholds identified by traditional statistical analysis methods may not conform to geological facts.
[0004] Therefore, a background anomaly identification method based on a center logarithmic ratio value and a fractal theory is proposed. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to solve the above problems and provides a background anomaly identification method based on a center logarithmic ratio value and a fractal theory.
[0006] The present application realizes the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical scheme: a background anomaly identification method based on a center logarithmic ratio value and a fractal theory, comprising: performing CLR transformation on chemical components according to compositional data theory, performing fractal processing on the CLR transformed data, determining a background anomaly boundary through a least square method fitting function, and determining background and anomaly thresholds through data close to the third quantile (75%) on a Q-Q graph.
[0007] The specific steps of the present application are as follows:
[0008] S1. Clean the data and remove samples with element concentration values below the detection limit;
[0009] S2. Calculate the concentration of each component of the qualified sample The corresponding central logarithmic ratio , where n is the number of components, m is the component to be studied, 1 ≤ i ≤ n;
[0010] S3, statistics greater than or equal to a specific The number of samples N of the value, calculate its corresponding logarithm ;
[0011] S4, the central logarithm ratio of all qualified samples to be studied component m and its corresponding Perform scatter plotting;
[0012] S5. Perform least squares fitting on the scatter plot from 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:
[0013]
[0014] Among them, A and B are obtained by least squares fitting, and the slope A of different straight lines is different;
[0015] S6. Adjacent fitting lines will form intersections, and record the intersections they represent. value;
[0016] S7. Drawing QQ graph, determine the intersection points The first value close to the 3rd quartile 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.
[0017] Furthermore, the original concentration data are transformed into central logarithmic ratio (CLR) according to the compositional data theory, and anomalies of the concentration and sample number are identified based on the fractal theory. The denominator in the CLR transformation step can be the content of all 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.
[0018] Compared with the existing technical methods, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The central log ratio value of the component data theory processing center The data obeys Gaussian distribution, and statistical results can better reflect element distribution characteristics than original concentration; the central log ratio value of the component data theory processing center The dimension of the result is consistent with that of the original concentration data, the information dimension of the result is better than that of the additive log ratio value, and the interpretability is better than that of the isometric log ratio value; the central log ratio value The fractal research of the central log ratio value and the sample number log can accurately identify the background formed by non-mineralization process and the anomaly formed by mineralization process.
