Abstract
Methods for determining mineral compositions of materials are described. The methods include obtaining elemental data associated with a geologic sample, calculating a measurement correlation matrix of the geologic sample from the elemental data, calculating an artificial correlation matrix, comparing the measurement correlation matrix and the artificial correlation matrix to determine an error value, minimizing the error value by updating the artificial correlation matrix and comparing the measurement correlation matrix to the updated artificial correlation matrix, and determining a mineral composition of the geologic sample based on the minimized measurement correlation matrix.
