Nockolds

A data frame of average major and minor element compositions for igneous plutonic rocks published by Nockolds (1954).

datasets

Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) functions for exploratory data analysis with applied geochemical data, with special application to the estimation of background ranges and identification of outliers, 'anomalies', to support mineral exploration and environmental studies.  Additional functions are provided to support analytical data QA/QC, ANOVA for investigations of field sampling and analytical variability, and utility tasks.  NOTE: function caplot() for concentration-area plots employs package 'akima', however, 'akima' is only licensed for not-for-profit use.  Therefore, not-for-profit users of 'rgr' will have to independently make package 'akima' available through library(....); and use of function caplot() by for-profit users will fail.
