For providing the cement components in accordance with the specifications required, making the classification of the cement raw material pit is needed. To make this identification in a spatial system at a quarry stage, the supervised pattern recognition analysis has been performed. By using four discriminant analysis algorithms, lithological classifications at three levels, which are with limestone, marly-limestone (calcareous marl) and marl, have been made based on the main chemical components such as calcium oxide (CaO), alumina (Al2O3), silica (SiO2), and iron (Fe2O3). The results show that discriminant algorithms can be used as strong classifiers in cement quarry identification. It has also recorded that the conditional and mixed classifiers perform better than the conventional discriminant algorithms.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscementdiscriminant analysislithology classificationquarry identificationArticle26371972710.1007/s11771-019-4042-62-s2.0-85064914674Q1WOS:000467908000021Q3
