Abstract:
A version of modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has been proposed. The PSO algorithm has been modified to adopt to the discrete combinatorial optimization problem and reduce the probability of sinking into local optima. In the modified PSO algorithm, the velocity represents the probability of element in each particle taking value 1 or 0. The modified discrete PSO algorithm is proposed to select variables in MLR and PLS modeling and to predict antagonism of angiotensin II antagonists. The modified C(p) is employed as fitness function. The results were compared to those obtained by GAs. Experimental results have demonstrated that the modified PSO is a useful tool for variable selection which converges quickly towards the optimal position.
