Using Different Many-Objective Techniques in Particle Swarm Optimization for Many Objective Problems: An Empirical Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pareto based Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms face several problems when dealing with a large number of objectives. In this situation, almost all solutions become nondominated and there is no pressure towards the Pareto Front. The use of Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) in multi-objective problems grew in recent years. The PSO has been found very efficient in solve Multi-Objective Problems (MOPs) and several Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms (MOPSO) have been proposed. This work has the goal to study how PSO is affected when dealing with ManyObjective Problems. Recently, some many-objective techniques have been proposed to avoid the deterioration of the search ability of multi-objective algorithms. Here, two many-objective techniques are applied in PSO: Controlling the Dominance Area of Solutions and Average Ranking. An empirical analysis is performed to identify the influence of these techniques on convergence and diversity of the MOPSO search in different manyobjective scenarios. The experimental results are analyzed applying some quality indicators and some statistical tests.

PSO for multi-objective problems: Criteria for leader selection and uniformity distribution
This paper proposes a method to solve multi-objective problems using improved Particle Swarm Optimization. We propose leader particles which guide other particles inside the problem domain. Two techniques are suggested for selection and deletion of such particles to improve the optimal solutions. The first one is based on the mean of the m optimal particles and the second one is based on appoin...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Bound Handling Techniques for Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization
Many real world optimization scenarios impose certain limitations, in terms of constraints and bounds, on various factors affecting the problem. In this paper we formulate several methods for bound handling of decision variables involved in solving a multi-objective optimization problem using particle swarm optimization algorithm. We further compare the performance of these methods on different...

Shear wave velocity is a basic engineering tool required to define dynamic properties of soils. In many instances it may be preferable to determine Vs indirectly by common in-situ tests, such as the Standard Penetration Test. Many empirical correlations based on the Standard Penetration Test are broadly classified as regression techniques. However, no rigorous procedure has been published for c...

متن کاملFuzzy Apriori Rule Extraction Using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization: The Case of Credit Scoring
There are many methods introduced to solve the credit scoring problem such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule based classifiers. Rule bases are more favourite in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.In this paper multi-objective particle swarm is applied to optimize fuzzy apriori rule base in credit scoring. ...
