斯坦福—b曲线上述例子都涉及对数线性型式。简单的对数线性型式是很常见的,而这种基本型式的许多变种也已为人所知,有的变种为了便于使用,常常足以促进专门技术或数学模型的发展。南达(Nanda)引述许多这样的技术,并且提到论述每一种技术的书刊名称。在据认为适用于矿物工业的这些专门技 Stamford-b curve The above examples all involve a logarithmic linear pattern. Simple logarithmic linear patterns are common, and many variants of this basic pattern are known, and some are often sufficient to facilitate the development of specialized techniques or mathematical models for ease of use. Nanda cites many of these technologies, and mentions the titles of books about each technique. These know-how are said to apply to the mineral industry
