Cookbook Procedure to Determine M (continued)

• 5. Use “Fixed” E and m to Determine new M & C

• We take the mill outputs and “divide” them by the “fixed” E values:

• M = m/E (r)

  • Note that since we are using multiple values of both m & E to determine M, we are actually performing a matrix multiplication of the m “matrix” with the MP inverse of the E “matrix”

• Example first iteration M:

  • 3.7671 0.7418 -2.3653 2.4892
  • 2.4985 2.7971 3.1282 2.4905
  • 5.3042 -0.8989 -1.7117 2.4650
  • 0.4301 -2.6400 2.2488 2.6914
  • -4.7430 0.0892 -0.6057 1.7765
  • -1.2570 -0.0892 0.6057 1.1015

• 6. Repeat Steps 1-5 until M converges

• After 3 iterations, the M matrix is:

• 2.2868 2.4493 -0.0099 2.4116

  • 8.2428 1.5658 2.1827 2.7197
  • 2.4925 -2.1202 -0.5461 2.3643
  • 7.0092 -2.5815 2.3365 2.7062
  • -7.8235 0.0832 -3.2351 1.7508
  • -0.9226 0.1958 2.0617 1.1227
