Differential Evolution (DE) is a numerical optimization approach, which is simple to implement, requires little parameter tuning, and known for remarkable performance. It mainly uses the distance and direction information from the current population to guide its further search. However, it has no mechanism to extract and use global information about the search space. Cloud model is an effective tool...
Cloud estimation of distribution particle swarm optimizer combining PSO and cloud model is introduced. In the algorithm's offspring generation scheme, new particles are generated in the cloud estimation of distribution way or in the PSO way. The innovation of the algorithm is production of cloud particles according to the cloud model theory. The cognitive population obtained during optimization is...
Cloud model is an effective tool in uncertain transforming between qualitative concepts and their quantitative expressions. In this paper, we introduce a new optimization method inspired from cloud model theory. The innovations of the algorithm are the estimation of good solution regions and new solution production according to the cloud model theory. First, the algorithm uses information obtained...
Attribute discretization is one of the key issues for the Rough Set theory. First, a method is proposed to compute an initial cut points set. The indistinguishable relation of decision tables did not change, and the number of elements in the initial cut points set was reduced. Then, the cut point information entropy was defined to measure the importance of a cut point. Finally, an attribute discretization...
