The economic and economic statistical designs of an X̄ control chart comprise the constrained optimization problem, which involves the simultaneous use of continuous and discrete decision variables. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is adapted to deal with both continuous and discrete variables as required by the optimization problem. A numerical example in the study of Rahim and B...

This chapter presents the application of a comprehensive statistical analysis for both algorithmic performance comparison and optimal parameter estimation on a multi-objective digital signal processing problem. The problem of designing optimum digital finite impulse response (FIR) filters with the simultaneous approximation of the filter magnitude and phase is posed as a multiobjective optimiza...
