“…The statistical analysis of the proposed and the existing approaches is delineated in table 3. This analysis compares the mean, median and standard deviation of the proposed technique with the existing research work such as moth flame optimization, cuckoo search, binary successive approach and civilized swarm optimization (Anand et al, 2018), binary sine-cosine algorithm (Reddy et al, 2017), binary grey wolf optimizer (Reddy et al,2019), ant colony optimization (Vaisakh and Srinivas, 2011), nodal ant colony optimization (Columbus et al, 2012), Parallel artificial bee colony (Christopher Columbus and Simon, 2012), parallel nodal ant colony optimization (Christopher Columbus and Simon, 2013) and binary fireworks algorithm based (Srikanth Reddy et al, 2016) on the profit based unit commitment.…”
