A comparison is made between various measures proposed thus far for deducing the “best values” from discordant data received in the course of collaborative analysis of proposed reference rocks. Using the raw data on three Canadian samples and the summation and “iron‐oxide compatibility” tests, it is claimed that the “select laboratories” method produces the best results.
