Group and conquer – a method for displaying large stratigraphic data sets
نویسنده
چکیده
When dealing with a large stratigraphic data set, it is difficult to get a general idea of the excavation’s main features and their chronological sequence because the Harris diagram will become very big. It is hard to understand a diagram consisting of hundreds of equally sized boxes, if no hints are given how to structure them. Large Harris diagrams are seldom published owing to the high costs, and they cannot be displayed properly on a web page. In addition, multilinear or floating sequences (Harris 1984, p. 128) pose a problem, i.e. the network of stratigraphic relationships may be displayed in a large number of diagrams reflecting different chronological sequences.

Chemometrics-enhanced Classification of Source Rock Samples Using their Bulk Geochemical Data: Southern Persian Gulf Basin
Chemometric methods can enhance geochemical interpretations, especially when working with large datasets. With this aim, exploratory hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) methods are used herein to study the bulk pyrolysis parameters of 534 samples from the Persian Gulf basin. These methods are powerful techniques for identifying the patterns of variations i...
متن کاملKnowledge Reduction Based on Divide and Conquer Method in Rough Set Theory
The divide and conquer method is a typical granular computing method using multiple levels of abstraction and granulations. So far, although some achievements based on divided and conquer method in the rough set theory have been acquired, the systematic methods for knowledge reduction based on divide and conquer method are still absent. In this paper, the knowledge reduction approaches based on...
متن کاملOn divide-and-conquer strategies for parsimony analysis of large data sets: Rec-I-DCM3 versus TNT.
Roshan et al. recently described a "divide-and-conquer" technique for parsimony analysis of large data sets, Rec-I-DCM3, and stated that it compares very favorably to results using the program TNT. Their technique is based on selecting subsets of taxa to create reduced data sets or subproblems, finding most-parsimonious trees for each reduced data set, recombining all parts together, and then p...
متن کاملVisualizing Sets of Evolutionary Trees
One of the problems with current methods for phylogenetic reconstruction is the large number of equally parsimonious trees that are often found during a tree search; understanding these large sets of trees is a challenge for biologists. I explored the utility of a data visualization technique in creating 2D and 3D images of tree sets in order to improve researchers’ understanding of the sets. I...
متن کاملDC-NMF: nonnegative matrix factorization based on divide-and-conquer for fast clustering and topic modeling
The importance of unsupervised clustering and topic modeling is well recognized with ever-increasing volumes of text data available from numerous sources. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has proven to be a successful method for cluster and topic discovery in unlabeled data sets. In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm for computing NMF using a divide-and-conquer strategy, called DC-NM...
