Abstract:Due to its transferability, the soil has been commonly used as evidence in criminal investigations. In this work, 172 soil samples were taken from five urban parks from the town of Tetovo (North Macedonia) and from additional four rural locations in its vicinity. The soil samples were examined using X-ray powder diffraction. The collected diffractograms were used for development of classification models based on supervised self-organizing maps for determination of their origin. The examination of generalizatio… Show more
