The massive sulphide deposit at Kantienpan Cu-Zn mine is hosted by volcano sedimentary succession known as the Areachap Group, in the eastern part of Namaqua Metamorphic Province, South Africa.

Although a vast amount of literature exists on the selection of an appropriate probubility distribution for annual maximum fluodflows, few studies huve examined which probability distributions ure most suitable to fit to sequences of annual minimum streamflow!;. Probabilily plots have been u!;ed widely in hydrology as a gruphicul uid to assess the goodnes!; of fu of ultemative distributions. Re...

This paper outlines the statistical basis, construction and interpretation of probability-density (PD) plots as applied to the analysis of mixed distributions of fission-track (FT) grain ages. Such distributions can be viewed as being composed of a mixture of elemental component distributions, with each component characterized by a unique average FT age. The original PD plot of Hurford et al. i...

(a) Evaluate analytically the error probability performance of an optimal receiver for N = 1 and m ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, and for N = 4 and m ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Plot the error probability v.s. m on a single graph for both N = 1 and N = 4. using the logarithmic scale for the error probability axis. (b) Write a computer program (see the note below) to evaluate by simulation the error probabilit...

Statisticians routinely plot ordered observations against expected values to validate a model using a random sample. In fact, it is possible to construct a probability plot for a random sample from any continuous distribution function, and this is accommodated by the probability integral transform which facilitates a uniform probability plot of the ordered transformed observations against their...

Department of Civil Engineering, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts Filliben (1975) and Looney and Gulledge (1985) developed powerful tests of nonnality which are conceptually simple and computationally convenient and may be readily extended to testing nonnonnal distributional hypotheses. The probability plot correlation coefficient test consists of two widely used tools in water resource...
