Size Frequency Distributions of Sediments
Abstract
Abstract Distinction is made between continuous and discontinuous variables in frequency distributions. Histograms, frequency curves, and cumulative curves are discussed in relation to each other. On the basis of these relations an attempt is made to explain why histograms vary with the grade scale used in mechanical analysis, while cumulative curves do not. The disadvantages of histograms may be avoided by a simple graphic method for obtaining a continuous frequency curve independent of the grade scale. This curve is obtained by graphic differentiation of the cumulative curve, and is expressed in terms of the Wentworth descriptive grade scale. The analytic scale for obtaining the data is, however, shown to he independent of the descriptive scale units. It is suggested that in analyzing sediments, as many points as necessary be determined along the cumulative curve, to reduce errors of smoothing to a minimum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
