Scientific paper
The multivariate method for statistical analysis of crater-filling classes, as presently applied to craters of more than 10-km diameter on Mercury, is noted to be superior to current techniques due to the obviation of any amalgamation of data from regions with different histories in order to arrive at the pertinent counting statistics. In this application to the Mercury intercrater plains, the process responsible for emplacement is constrained to be one that leaves the crater class distribution unaltered from that observed on the densely cratered terrain. The analysis explicitly eliminates the viability of the pulse emplacement of volcanics or basin ejecta.
