Abstract:Identifying the tectonic setting of formation of rocks is an essential
component in the field of geosciences. The conventional approach is to
employ standard tectonic discrimination diagrams based on elemental
correlations and ratios, which sometimes are plagued with uncertainties
and limitations. The application of machine learning algorithms based on
big data can effectively overcome these problems. In this study, three
machine learning algorithms, namely Support Vector Machine, Random
Forest, and XGBoost, w… Show more
