Process Overview
The number of fields for the left hand variate e.g.. mineralization, is specified by the user (@NLEFT). Obviously, it helps to have a pre-conceived idea of the data structure prior to analysis, i.e.. the number of fields to define for the left hand variate and the relevant fields to include as significant in defining the variates in the analysis.
File Handling
Note: There is a restriction of 45 variables but there is no limit on the number of samples. If missing data values are present in the sample then the sample record is ignored. It is necessary to have the fields for the left hand variate defined as the first fields in the datafile.
