Statistics

Quantify how uncertain inputs propagate through your PHREEQC model, and reduce complex datasets to what matters.

Included in GibbsStudio Professional and Enterprise.

Explained variance by principal component, and a histogram of Monte Carlo input temperatures

What Statistics does

Monte Carlo study
Run PHREEQC thousands of times with inputs drawn from statistical distributions, and see the spread of every result.
Random or Latin hypercube
Random sampling draws each simulation independently; Latin hypercube cuts each distribution into equally probable strata and draws once in each, which covers the input space with far fewer runs.
A run you can repeat
Every study carries a seed, and the same seed draws the same samples — so a figure in a paper can be reproduced. Set it to 0 for a new draw each run. Each distribution has its own stream.
The distributions you need
Normal, lognormal, log10-normal, truncated normal, uniform, log-uniform and triangular, one per parameter.
Univariate statistics
Compute descriptive statistics and histograms for any variable in your samples or model output.
Principal component analysis
Understand and reduce the complexity of large hydrochemical datasets with PCA.

Typical uses

  • Uncertainty ranges for saturation indices
  • Sensitivity of results to input chemistry
  • A published figure a reviewer can reproduce exactly
  • Grouping samples by dominant processes
