Welcome to the " Mineral Association Analysis" database.

This contribution contains rule bases created using mineral occurrences from the mineral evolution database and mindat.org. There are rule bases for 5 subsets of mineral occurrence data: 1) "Localities within USA" subset, 2) "Localities containing Uranium minerals" subset, 3) "Localities aged older than 2.5 Ga" (Archean), 4) "Localities aged between 2.5 to 0.4 Ga" (Proterozoic), and 5) "Localities aged less than 0.4 Ga" (Phanerozoic). These association rules were generated using the 'arules' package in R and can be imported directly into R or Rstudio using the readRDS() function.
