R, geochemistry, ternary diagrams
I'm in e-mail contact with a geochemist who maintains a well regarded geochemistry web site. He's drawing diagrams either with a Turbo Pascal program running in a DOS window or with Excel. I'm trying to persuade him that R would be a better choice. Something he's particularly keen on is ternary diagrams. I think he is talking about ternary phase diagrams, and if s...

Bayesian mixing model
Fellow R users, I'm using the BCE {BCE} function to run a Bayesian sediment mixing model. The aim is to find the optimum % contribution from each of the 4 source areas that can yield the target geochemistry. I have geochemistry for 4 source areas called Rat: Rat<-read.table(text="CaO MgO Na2O Al2O3 Topsoils 2.511250 0.7445500 0.7085500 14.10375 ChannelBanks 55.021500 0.8665000 0.3045000 10.19800 FieldDrains 17.958221 0.9415394 0.2979383 14.68013 RoadRunoff 9.177297 1.9...

plotting lines with missing data for x values
I have some data (REE plots - geochemistry) where I have values 1:14 for the x axis, but have no data for some x values. Here for example, let's say that I don't have data for x=2,5,8. So x<-1:14 y<-c(4, NA, 5, 9, NA, 3.4, 8, NA, 19, 22, 12, 14, 15.3, 15) if I plot the data plot(x,y) and then I want to join with lines l...

changing windows variables in wine
Hello all, I am a mac user running Wine to run geochemistry program on my mac under OS X 10.5.8 using Wine 1.1.35. I've got two out of my three programs up and running without a problem! When I try to run PhreePlot I get the following error in the wine command prompt: ***Error: Invalid PhreePlot system path. Check that the PhreePlot environment variabl...

Use of geometric mean for geochemical concentrations
Dear Rich, It depends how the data is generated. Although I am not an expert in ecology, I can explain it based on a biomedical example. Certain variables are generated geometrically (exponentially), e.g. MIC or Titer. MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for bacterial resistance Titer = dilution which still has an effect, e.g. serially diluting blood samples; Obviously, diluting the

Spider diagrams
Hi, I am trying to create what are called "spider diagrams" in the geochemical literature using R. A spider diagram is basically a plot of the atomic number versus the concentration on a log scale. Lines are drawn from each atomic number for each sample. Right now, my data frame looks like: SAMPLE SITE V3 LA.NASC LAATNUM CE.NASC CEATMNUM 1 1A:001

Plotting 15 million points
Hi All I have a vector of about 15 million numbers which I would like to plot. The goal is the see the distribution. I tired the usual steps. 1. Histogram : never gets complete my window freezes w/out log base 10 2. Density : I first calculated the kernel density and then plotted it which worked. It would be nice to superimpose histogram with density but as of now I am not able to get this
