“…The performance of MCSWOA was further verified by some advanced non−WOA variants. Thirteen algorithms consisting of BLPSO [43], CLPSO [44], CSO [45], DBBO [46], DE/BBO [47], GOTLBO [14], IJAYA [17], LETLBO [48], MABC [49], ODE [50], SATLBO [15], SLPSO [51], and TLABC [24] were employed for comparison in this subsection. The result of Wilcoxon's rank sum test tabulated in Table 12 shows that MCSWOA performed very competitively and outperformed all of the other 13 algorithms on 9 cases except Case 4, on which MCSWOA was surpassed by ODE and DBBO, and tied by TLABC.…”
