Graphical Visualization and Domain Partitioning of Minerals in Clay Fraction of Soils from Capricorn District, South Africa

Modeling techniques were used to study minerals in clay fraction of soils from Capricorn District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Minerals in the clay fraction of soils were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and semi-quantified. The minerals were then subjected to a combination of exploratory data analysis (EDA), graphical visualisation and domain-partitioning techniques in order to determine their cross-influence to one another in terms of abundances. Results are reported.
