A fitness differential adaptive parameter controlled evolutionary algorithm with application to the design structure matrix

Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

A Combinatorial Algorithm for Fuzzy Parameter Estimation with Application to Uncertain Measurements

This paper presents a new method for regression model prediction in an uncertain environment. In practical engineering problems, in order to develop regression or ANN model for making predictions, the average of set of repeated observed values are introduced to the model as an input variable. Therefore, the estimated response of the process is also the average of a set of output values where th...

A Differential Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolutionary Algorithm for real parameter optimization

Hybridization in context to Evolutionary Computation (EC) aims at combining the operators and methodologies from different EC paradigms to form a single algorithm that may enjoy a statistically superior performance on a wide variety of optimization problems. In this article we propose an efficient hybrid evolutionary algorithm that embeds the difference vector-based mutation scheme, the crossov...

Application of the Design Structure Matrix to Wheelchair Development

Wheelchair users with brain-related problems experience involuntary extensor thrusts, which may cause injuries due to unexpected impacts with the wheelchair. An improved wheelchair design would be very beneficial to such users. This paper uses the Design Structure Matrix (DSM), which is an information exchange model that helps find the relationship between tasks in a product development process...

Improved Automatic Clustering Using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm With New Validity measure and application to Credit Scoring

In data mining, clustering is one of the important issues for separation and classification with groups like unsupervised data. In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve and optimize the application of clustering heuristic methods such as Genetic, PSO algorithm, Artificial bee colony algorithm, Harmony Search algorithm and Differential Evolution on the unlabeled data of an Iranian bank...
