In USGS-R/MapMark4: Probability calculations for three-part mineral resource assessments

MapMark4

Package Status

MapMark4 is a software package that implements the probability calculations in three-part mineral resource assessments. The name is derived from the descriptive phrase “mineral assessment program mark4”—the name “mark4” is chosen because the previous, similar program was called “mark3”. Functions within the software package are written in the R statistical programming language. These functions and their documentation are bundled together in R’s unit of sharable code, which is called a “package.” MapMark4 provides the essential R functions to perform the probability calculations but does not provide a graphical user’s interface.

If you are interested in obtaining the source code for the package, then it can be downloaded from this GIT repository. However, if you only want to use the package, then you can obtain the installation files (as well as the user’s guide formatted as a USGS publication) from https://doi.org/10.3133/tm7C14.
