PyPI Build Status Documentation Status codecov Open In Colab Python 3.8 License: GPL v3 DOI

We present mineralML (mineral classification using Machine Learning) for probabilistic classification of common igneous minerals. mineralML provides functions for calculating stoichiometries and crystallographic sites based on this classification, along with functions for handling mapped EDS data. Utilizing this package allows for the identification of misclassified mineral phases and poor-quality data. We streamline data processing and cleaning to allow for the rapid transition to usable data, improving the utility of data curated in these databases and furthering computing and modeling capabilities.

Run on the Cloud

If you do not have Python installed locally, run mineralML on Google Colab. The Cloud-based version runs rapidly, with test cases of >10,000 microanalyses classified within 4 seconds.

Run and Install Locally

Obtain a version of Python between 3.9 and 3.14 if you do not already have it installed. mineralML can be installed with one line. Open terminal and type the following:

pip install mineralML

Make sure that you keep up with the latest version of mineralML. To upgrade to the latest version of mineralML, open terminal and type the following:

pip install mineralML --upgrade
