Abstract In an effort to establish radiometric signatures of geologic units, 10 discriminant analysis techniques were applied to aerial radiometric data collected along the Texas Gulf Coast for the Grand Junction, Colorado, Office, U.S. Department of Energy's National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE)program. Results of this study show that partial discriminant analysis with the linear discriminant function (LDF)applied to the raw data is useful for establishing radiometric signatures and for classifying new observations. Signatures for favorable and unfavorable units along the Texas Gulf Coast were established and new observations were then classified as favorable or unfavorable for hosting uranium deposits based on the established training sets.
