Evolutionary Selection in Simulation-Based Optimization

چکیده
In this work we examine the effect of elitist and non-elitist selection on a supply chain problem. The problem is characterized by an output constraint which in turn separates the search space in a feasible and a non-feasible region. Additionally the simulation output is noisy due to a stochastic demand model. We will show analyze which strategy is able to perform a walk on the boundary between the feasible and infeasible space. Additionally a new selection scheme is introduced based on a statistical test to evaluate the difference between two solutions given a number of noisy quality values. This selection scheme is described and evaluated on the problem situation.

The ensemble clustering with maximize diversity using evolutionary optimization algorithms
Data clustering is one of the main steps in data mining, which is responsible for exploring hidden patterns in non-tagged data. Due to the complexity of the problem and the weakness of the basic clustering methods, most studies today are guided by clustering ensemble methods. Diversity in primary results is one of the most important factors that can affect the quality of the final results. Also...
متن کاملHybrid Probabilistic Search Methods for Simulation Optimization
Discrete-event simulation based optimization is the process of finding the optimum design of a stochastic system when the performance measure(s) could only be estimated via simulation. Randomness in simulation outputs often challenges the correct selection of the optimum. We propose an algorithm that merges Ranking and Selection procedures with a large class of random search methods for continu...

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...
