CS: Optimization using Cuckoo Search algorithm

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Description

This is the internal function that implements cuckoo search Algorithm. It is used to solve continuous optimization tasks. Users do not need to call it directly, but just use metaOpt.

Usage

2
CS(FUN, optimType = "MIN", numVar, numPopulation = 40, maxIter = 500,
  rangeVar, abandonedFraction = 0.5)

Arguments

FUN

an objective function or cost function,

optimType

a string value that represent the type of optimization. There are two option for this arguments: "MIN" and "MAX". The default value is "MIN", which the function will do minimization. Otherwise, you can use "MAX" for maximization problem. The default value is "MIN".

numVar

a positive integer to determine the number variables.

numPopulation

a positive integer to determine the number populations. The default value is 40.

maxIter

a positive integer to determine the maximum number of iterations. The default value is 500.

rangeVar

a matrix (2 \times n) containing the range of variables, where n is the number of variables, and first and second rows are the lower bound (minimum) and upper bound (maximum) values, respectively. If all variable have equal upper bound, you can define rangeVar as matrix (2 \times 1).

abandonedFraction

a positive numeric between 0 and 1 to determine fraction of population to be replaced. The default value is 0.5.

Details

This algorithm was proposed by (Yang & Deb, 2009). This algorithhm was inspired by behaviour of cuckoo birds which place its egg on other bird nest. While cuckoo birds putting the eggs in the nests of other birds they are two possible outcome. First the owner of the nest will stay on the nest. Second the owner of the nest will abandon the nest.

In order to find the optimal solution, the algorithm follow the following steps.

Value

Vector [v1, v2, ..., vn] where n is number variable and vn is value of n-th variable.

## Optimizing the sphere function

# define sphere function as objective function
sphere <- function(x){
    return(sum(x^2))
}

## Define parameter
numVar <- 5
rangeVar <- matrix(c(-10,10), nrow=2)

## calculate the optimum solution cuckoo search
resultCS <- CS(sphere, optimType="MIN", numVar, numPopulation=20,
                 maxIter=100, rangeVar)

## calculate the optimum value using sphere function
optimum.value <- sphere(resultCS)
