Application of Partial Least Squares-Discriminate Analysis Model Based on Water Chemical Compositions in Identifying Water Inrush Sources from Multiple Aquifers in Mines

Abstract

Mine water inrush seriously threatens the safety of coal mine production. Quick and accurate identification of mine water inrush sources is of great significance to preventing mine water hazards. This paper combined partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) with inrush water chemical composition to identify the source of water inrush from multiple aquifers in mines. The Renlou Coal Mine in the Linhuan mining area was selected for this study, and seven conventional water chemical compositions from 54 water samples in three aquifers were collected and tested, of which 45 water samples were used to establish the PLS-DA discriminant model, and nine were used to test the prediction effect. To improve model accuracy and predictive ability, hierarchical clustering analysis method was used to eliminate seven unqualified water samples to reduce the errors caused by improper data. PCA and PLS-DA methods were used to analyze and process the remaining water sample data, and on the basis of PCA analysis, the remaining 38 water samples were used to establish the PLS-DA discriminant model. The model was validated using permutation and external prediction tests. The research shows the following results: (1) Both PCA and PLS-DA methods can distinguish water samples from three different water sources, but the classification effect of PLS-DA was better than PCA because it can strengthen the difference of water chemical composition between different water sources. (2) The correct discrimination rate of the PLS-DA discriminant model was as high as 100%, and permutation tests showed that the model was not overfit. External validation found that the model had good stability and discrimination. (3) HCO3- and total dissolved solids (TDS) were the most important differential marker compositions that affected the discrimination results based on Variable Importance for the Projection (VIP) scores. The discriminant model established in this study combined the advantages of principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis, providing a new method for accurately identifying the sources of water inrush in mines.

The utilization of a data fusion approach to investigate fingerprint profiles of dark tea from China's different altitudes

“…Fig. 5 B depicts that all the R 2 and Q2 scores to the left are less than those on the extreme right, implying a lack of overfitting in the altitude-specific dark tea classification approach ( Bi et al, 2021 ). The R 2 X, R 2 Y, and Q 2 scores recorded as 0.860, 1, and 0.915, respectively, suggest that the variation among dark teas from varied origins after the post-intermediate data fusion was significant, and the resulting approach designated strong predictive performance.…”

“…However, to obtain a higher level of treatment separation and a better understanding of the variables responsible for classification, a supervised PLS-DA was applied. The PLS-DA, in contrast to PCA, is a supervised approach that can categorize observations into groups based on the greatest predicted indicator variable [ 49 , 50 ]. Barker, in 2012 [ 51 ], employed statistical theory to demonstrate that PLS-DA was capable of accurate classification.…”

Geochemical processes of groundwater salinization in an arid area, southeastern Tunisia

“…Principal component analysis (PCA) was widely used as a multivariate statistical and exploratory analysis methodology to interpret many-variable data matrix. PCA is widely used to explain the processes which influence groundwater quality by examining chemical associations defined by one or more variable loadings on factors (Chen and Jiao 2007;Souid et al 2018;Bi et al 2021;Zakhem et al 2017;Shirnezhad et al 2020;Ju and Hu 2021). The PCA is based on the reduction of large variables in the initial matrix and the construction of new ones named components.…”
