Abstract

Summary

In this study, a new approach was introduced to enhance the accuracy of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) prediction. The modification involved the application of Simulated Annealing (SA), an optimization technique inspired by physical annealing processes, to the non-linear estimation method known as Icl-BS. The Icl-BS technique, initially proposed by Bibor and Szabo in 2016, aimed to establish a linear regression relationship between TOC content and parameter Δd, computed using the Clay Indicator Method (Icl) developed by Zhao et al. in 2016.

The modified method referred to as Icl-BS-SA, demonstrated remarkable improvements over traditional approaches. Comparisons were made against the conventional linear regression-based Icl method and the nonlinear regression-based Icl-BS technique using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The results indicated that the Icl-BS-SA method outperformed these approaches in terms of both accuracy and parameter estimation.

By incorporating the SA technique, the Icl-BS-SA method achieved significantly enhanced outcomes, showcased through reduced relative data distance and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). This innovative approach holds promise for advancing TOC prediction accuracy, making it a noteworthy contribution to the field.
