Most of the man-made technologies are nature-inspired including the popular heuristics or metaheuristics techniques that have been used to solve complex computational optimization problems. In most of the meta-heuristics algorithms, adjusting the parameters has important significance to obtain the best performance of the algorithm. Cricket Chirping Algorithm (CCA) is a nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithm that has been designed by mimicking the chirping behavior of the cricket (insect) for solving optimization problems. CCA employs a set of parameters for its smooth functioning. In a meta-heuristic algorithm, controlling the values of various parameters is one of the most important issues of research. While solving the problem, the parameter values have a potential to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. The different parameters used in CCA are tuned for better performance of the algorithm through experiments conducted on a set of sample benchmark test functions and then, the finetuned CCA is compared with some other meta-heuristic algorithms. The results show the optimal choice of the various parameters to solve optimization problems using CCA.
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.
