DECOLOG
Experimentally derived particle size distribution often shown multi-modal shape and this characteristic is usually interpreted as a mixture of two or more populations. The origin of these mixture has been commonly interpreted as due to the complex processes linked to the origin of the sediment ad clasts , to the transport and final deposition, or in other terms, the geological cycle of sediment transport and evolution, the weathering and soil process may affect the final distribution of particles present in the sampled deposit. The basic idea is that the all the processes responsible of the deposit leave some trace of them inside the special characteristics of the mixture and their populations. We assume that the mixture maintains encoded in its the global distribution information. Aim of DECOLOG software is develop a solution to decode the information present in the natural mixture of particles/sediments using, as paradigm, the Log-normal or Weibull distributions and particularly a defined mixture of these distributions. Decolog performs this operation using innovative techniques of optimization and in automatic way, without the needs of special efforts from user, as the initial guessing of observed distribution's peaks ..... The easiness of use is one of the most innovative and appreciated characteristics of current version of DECOLOG DECOLOG 6.0 main

Please note: now is
possible download the DECOLOG version 6.0.1
(64 bit) at the download page.. the
documentation isn't updated. will be updated
soon.. The release 6.0.1 contains
important improvements and in particular now
DECOLOG code is released only in the
Win 64 bit version.
The release 6.0.1 (64 bit) of DECOLOG may be run only in Windows 7 ,8x and 10,11 64 bit CPU. The the DECOLOG optimization engines allow to consider components (Lognormal or Weibull distributions) with negative skewness (so left tailed). To do that we use generalized 4 parameters Lognormal or Weibull distributions. DECOLOG 6.0.1 can now decode now until to 4 mixture's components. DECOLOG 6.0.1can manage even or uneven observed distribution's bins. A new test was included in DECOLOG 6.0.1. The test launched before optimization processing, avoids to run optimization in case of Insufficient degree of freedom and thus it contribute to avoid overfitting. The internal optimization engine of DECOLOG has been greatly improved using last findings in Multi-Objective optimization algorithms based on Differential evolution (DE) + FSADE algorithms. That’s improving the speed of convergence,reliability and reproducibility of final results. The new TDE optimization engine has been also implemented since 2009 in DECOLOG software. In the updated version 6.0.1 now DECOLOG can be installed in any drive or directory of your HD or USB key. Decolog is a full PORTABLE app. As well data to be processed can be stored in any path of your windows system..(see Download page for special instruction for installation) Enjoy DECOLOG...!!
