Probabilistic Model (Weights of Evidence):

- used in the areas where there are already some known deposits

- spatial associations of known deposits/oil well with the geological features are used to determine the probability of occurrence of a mineral deposit (or well) in each unit cell of the study area.

Fuzzy Model:

- used in the areas where there are no known mineral deposits

- each geological feature is assigned a weight based on the expert knowledge, these weights are subsequently combined to determine the probability of occurrence of mineral deposit in each unit cell of the study area.

IntroductionFuzzy logic:

• A way to represent imprecision in logic and approximate reasoning• A way to make use of natural language in logic

•Humans say things like :• “If it is cool and dry, I will walk faster on my morning walk”•"If it is overcast and warm and humid, it will rain heavily"

•Linguistic variables:• Speed: {Fast, slow}•Temp: {freezing, cool, warm, hot}•Cloud Cover: {overcast, partly cloudy, sunny}•Humid: {high, average, low}•Rain: {Heavy, moderate, light}

Page 7: Structure of a model for  mineral resource potential mapping

Crisp (Traditional) Variables• Crisp variables represent precise quantities:

Temp = 36 deg CHumidity = 70%

• Some thing like:– If the cloud cover is 90% and temperature is 40

degrees C and humidity is 70%, then the rainfall would be 30 mm.

– If the temperature is 25 deg C, I will walk at 20 km/hr on my morning walk.

Fuzzy Sets• Extension of Classical Sets• Not just a membership value of in the set and out the set, 1 and 0

– but partial membership value, between 1 and 0

Page 9: Structure of a model for  mineral resource potential mapping

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

Example: Height• Tall people: say taller than or equal to 6 feet

– 6’, 6’1”, 6’3” feet are members of this set– 5’11.9” are not members of this set - Is that

reasonable? (measurement can be inaccurate and/or imprecise )

Example: Weekend days

Page 11: Structure of a model for  mineral resource potential mapping

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

In fuzzy logic, the truth of any statement becomes a matter of degree.

Q: Is Saturday a weekend day?A: 1 (yes, or true)Q: Is Tuesday a weekend day?A: 0 (no, or false)Q: Is Friday a weekend day?A: 0.8 (for the most part yes, but not completely)Q: Is Sunday a weekend day?A: 0.95 (yes, but not quite as much as Saturday).

Membership Function

A = {x | x > 6}

A = {x, µA

(x) | x ∈ X}

A membership function must vary between 0 and 1.

The function itself can be an arbitrary curve whose shape we can define as a function that suits us from the point of view of simplicity, convenience, speed, and efficiency.

A classical set might be expressed as

A fuzzy set is an extension of a classical set. If X is the universe of discourse and its elements are denoted by x, then a fuzzy set A in X is defined as a set of ordered pairs.

µA(x) is called the membership function (or MF) of x in A. The membership function maps each element of X to a membership value between 0 and 1.

µA(x) is called the membership function (or MF) of x in A. The membership function maps each element of X to

a membership value between 0 and 1.

Fuzzy if-then rulesFuzzy if-then rule statements are used to formulate the conditional statements that comprise fuzzy logic.

A single fuzzy if-then rule assumes the form:

if x is A then y is B

where A and B are linguistic values defined by fuzzy sets on the ranges X and Y, respectively.

The if-part of the rule "x is A" is called the antecedent or premise

The then-part of the rule "y is B" is called the consequent or conclusion.

Page 25: Structure of a model for  mineral resource potential mapping

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

if x is A then y is B

For example: If FeO is high then gold potential is average

“High” is represented as a number between 0 and 1, and so the antecedent is an interpretation that returns a single number between 0 and 1. “Average” is represented as a fuzzy set, and so the consequent is an assignment that assigns the entire fuzzy set B to the output variable y.

Fuzzy if-then rules

Page 26: Structure of a model for  mineral resource potential mapping

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

The input to an if-then rule is the current value for the input variable (in this case, FeO) and the output is an entire fuzzy set (in this case, gold potential).

The consequent specifies a fuzzy set be assigned to the output.

The implication function then modifies that fuzzy set to the degree specified by the antecedent. The most common ways to modify the output fuzzy set are truncation using the min function, where the fuzzy set is truncated.

This set has to be defuzzified, assigning one value to the output.

IF sky is gray AND wind is strong AND humidity is high AND temperature low, THEN rainfall will be heavy.

IF Granite is Proximal AND Fault is Proximal AND FeO is high AND SiO2 is low, THEN Gold potential is high.

Several fuzzy if-then rules are combined to generate a Fuzzy Inference System

Fuzzy Inference SystemStep 1: Identify the factors that control a system:For example: Formation of a deposit (or mineral potential of an area) depends on the following factors:1. FeO content of the rocks2. SiO2 content of the rocks3. Closeness (or proximity) to granite4. Closeness (or proximity) to faults

Step 2: Identify the variables for each of the factor:1. FeO content: {high, average, low}2. SiO2content: {high, average, low}3. Proximity to granite :{proximal, intermediate, distal}4. Proximity to faults: {proximal, intermediate, distal}

Step 3: Identify the output variable of the systemMineral potential: {high, average, low}

Rule1: IF FeO is high AND SiO2 is low AND Granite is proximal AND Fault is proximal, THEN mineral potential is high.

Rule 2: IF FeO is average AND SiO2 is high AND Granite is intermediate AND Fault is proximal, THEN mineral potential is average.

• The probability of the occurrence of the targeted mineral deposit type when no other geological information about the area is available or considered.

Study area (S)

Target deposits D

Assuming- 1. Unit cell size = 1 sq km2. Each deposit occupies 1 unit cell

Total study area = Area (S) = 10 km x 10 km = 100 sq km = 100 unit cells

Area where deposits are present = Area (D) = 10 unit cells

Prior Probability of occurrence of deposits = P {D} = Area(D)/Area(S)= 10/100 = 0.1

Prior odds of occurrence of deposits = P{D}/(1-P{D}) = 0.1/0.9 = 0.1110k

Which polygon has the highest spatial association with D?More importantly, does any polygon has a positive spatial association with D ???

What is the expected distribution of deposits in each polygon, assuming that they were randomly distributed? What is the observed distribution of deposits in each polygon?

Positive spatial association – more deposits in a polygon than you would expect if the deposits were randomly distributed.

If observed >> expected; positive associationIf observed = expected; no association If observed << expected; negative association

It has been observed that on an average 100 gold deposits occur in 10,000 sq km area of Archaean geological provinces. In such provinces, 80% of deposits occur in Ultramafic rocks. 9.6% of barren areas also occur in Ultramafic (UM). You are exploring a 1 sq km area of an Archaean geological province with Ultramafic rocks (UM). What is the probability that the area will contain a gold deposit? Assume that a gold deposit occupies 1 sq km area.

P(D|UM) = P(D) x [P(UM|D) / P(UM)]

P(D) = n(D)/n(S)

Loge (O{D|B}) = Loge(O{D}) + W+B

Loge (O{D|B}) = Loge(O{D}) + W-B

Assuming conditional independence of

the geological features B1 and B2, the

posterior probability of D given B1 and B2

can be estimated using:

Loge (O{D|B1, B2}) = Loge(O{D}) + W+B1 + W+B2

Loge (O{D|B1, B2}) = Loge(O{D}) + W-B1 + W+B2

Loge (O{D|B1, B2}) = Loge(O{D}) + W+B1 + W-B2

Loge (O{D|B1, B2}) =

Loge(O{D}) + W-B1 + W-B2

Probability of D given the presence of B1 and B2

Probability of D given the absence of B1 and presence B2

Probability of D given the presence of B1 and absence B2

Probability of D given the absence of B1 and B2

Loge (O{D|B1, B2, … Bn}) = Loge(O{D}) + ∑W+/-Bii=1

nOr in general, for n geological features,

The sign of W is +ive or -ive, depending on whether the feature is absent or present

The odds are converted back to posterior probability using the relation 0 = P/(1+P)
