Additive and Non-Additive Variables III: Reviewing Additivity and Linearity Properties of Percentage-Type Concentrations

Additive and Non-Additive Variables III: Reviewing Additivity and Linearity Properties of Percentage-Type Concentrations

This is the final entry related to additive and non-additive variables. Remember that you can find information on non-additive geotechnical and metallurgical variables in our previous post. Are Cu (%) concentrations additive and linear? Below, we will review percentage-type concentration variables defined by: Concentration (X) % = 100 *(masa)X/(masa)Tot, that

Additive and Non-Additive Variables II: Examples of non-additive geotechnical and metallurgical variables

Following our series of posts on additive and non-additive variables, today we will discuss the case of geotechnical and metallurgical ones. Remember that you can find the basic definitions and properties in our previous post. Example of geomechanical variables In the following examples, the intention is not to address the

Additive and Non-Additive Variables I: Definitions and Properties

When performing an estimation or simulation of a new variable, it is important to ask about its additive property, its linearity, and understand its definition. If the variable is not additive, this knowledge allows us to evaluate appropriate methodologies and techniques for estimating it — for example, by simplifying, referring to
