A factor analysis study of the major element geochemistry of granitic rocks

A Varimax-rotated R-mode factor analysis was performed on a collection of 195 whole-rock major element chemical analyses of granitic rocks, mainly Finnish. Factor loadings with corresponding eigenvalues and communalities were computed separately for 3 to 6 factors. The rapakivis, the non-rapakivis a...
