THE GENERAL LINEAR MODEL IN MAP PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS, PART II.

Abstract

The general linear model is the connecting thread that weaves through many aspects of map preparation, map analysis, and map interpretation. The Q-mode factor map and the discriminant function map are examples. The general linear model is also the basis for polynomial and Fourier map-analysis models, both of which are widely used in a variety of geological fields. Coefficient space, developed in AD-655 445, is further examined here, and the extension of map analysis to the estimation of 'trends' in coefficient matrices is introduced with an example. (Author)
