Geochemical Replicate Censored Pair Code Tool

Preserve explicitly supplied replicate-pair censoring metadata without substituting values or computing precision from censored results.

Description

Record the stated censoring convention of a geochemical replicate pair.

Geochemical results depend on analyte, matrix, dry/anhydrous basis, reference composition, isotope-ratio direction and censoring conventions. A normalized ratio or local correction is distinct from a validated mineral formula or geological interpretation. Operational extraction fractions and nominal site occupancies need their original analytical context.

Record the stated censoring convention of a geochemical replicate pair.

When to use this tool

Use Geochemical Replicate Censored Pair Code when checking the stated geochemical reporting basis, local correction or reference convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter firstReplicateId, secondReplicateId, censoringConvention. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Require nonempty two replicate IDs and censoring-convention wording. Encode them in that order as JSON text.1

}

Limitations and assumptions

  • No replicate measurements are compared or censoring applied; the convention is recorded rather than statistically interpreted.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use verified analytical methods, reference materials and appropriate complete geochemical models with qualified laboratory interpretation for actual results and safe handling.
