Discrimination of sedimentary facies by association analysis

Quantitative Microfacies Analysis

“…Ramsayer and BonhamCarter 1974). Binary data have been successfully applied in facies discrimination particularly with the aid of association analyses (Gill 1993). Association analysis, developed to handle binary-coded multivariate data of plant communities, was used to discriminate modern carbonate sediments (Erez and Gill 1976), and to recognize ancient reefal paleoenvironments of Cretaceous and Miocene reef complexes (Jurassic: Neuweiler 1995;Cretaceous: Ekdale et al 1976;Miocene: Buchbinder 1979).…”

Transferability of Data Related to the Underground Test Area Project, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada: Revision 0

“…Similarity is a common basis for many classification schemes, ranging from the largely qualitative North American Stratigraphic Code, to primarily quantitative approaches such as Lance and Williams (1967), Oliver and Webster (1989), Bourgault et al (1992), Grunsky andAgterberg (1992), andGill (1993).…”

“…Compositional and distributional data for shallow-marine carbonates of the Great Bahama Bank (Purdy 1963a(Purdy , 1963b have been used several times to test the value of multivariate discrimination methods (Gill 1993 ). 6.3.2).…”
