This paper proposed a novel radial basis function (RBF) neural network model optimized by exponential decreasing inertia weight particle swarm optimization (EDIW-PSO). Based on the inertia weight decreasing strategy, we propose a new Exponential Decreasing Inertia Weight (EDIW) to improve the PSO algorithm. We use the modified EDIW-PSO algorithm to determine the centers, widths, and connection weights of RBF neural network. To assess the performance of the proposed EDIW-PSO-RBF model, we choose the daily air quality index (AQI) of Xi'an for prediction and obtain improved results.where is the variable of radial basis function (⋅).
In this paper, an improved mixed Ant Colony Algorithm is proposed. The introduced algorithm is based on the traditional ant colony system algorithm. At the beginning an initial result is constructed using the nearest neighbour method. Build on top of that, the result is improved using 2-opt partial search strategy. Only the best two colonies' global pheromones are updated which used the rank-based ant colony system idea. Then we used MATLAB to simulate the classic Chinese TSP problem the dimension of which is 31. The best result we achieved is 15377. This result surpasses all the other results we have ever known. Afterwards we used a method of counting the sum of the route edges to measure the population diversity of our algorithm. Then we compared the population diversity of our improved mixed algorithm and the base ACO algorithm. The result shows our algorithm has higher population diversity which gives us a theory support why our algorithm can achieve best result than ever known.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
