Detailed Description

Implementation of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm.

The PSO algorithm was originally presented in:
J. Kennedy, R. Eberhart, "Particle Swarm Optimization", Proc. IEEE Int. Neural Networks, 1995.

The algorithm uses a stochastic optimization approach. Optimization is performed by maintaining a swarm (flock) of particles that traverse the parameter space, searching for the optimal function value. Associated with each particle are its location and speed, in parameter space. A particle's next location is determined by its current location, its current speed, the location of the best function value it previously encountered, and the location of the best function value the particles in its neighborhood previously encountered. In this implementation we use a global neighborhood with the following update equations:

\[v_i(t+1) = wv_i(t) + c_1u_1(p_i-x_i(t)) + c_2u_2(p_g-x_i(t))\]

\[x_i(t+1) = clampToBounds(x_i(t) + v_i(t+1))\]

where $u_i$ are $~U(0,1)$ and $w,c_1,c_2$ are user selected weights.

Swarm initialization is performed within the user supplied parameter bounds using a uniform distribution or a normal distribution centered on the initial parameter values supplied by the user. The search terminates when the maximal number of iterations has been reached or when the change in the best value in the past $g$ generations is below a threshold and the swarm has collapsed (i.e. particles are close to each other in parameter space).

NOTE: This implementation only performs minimization.

virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::CreateAnother ( void  ) const
virtual

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::NonLinearOptimizer.

virtual double itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::GetInertiaCoefficient ( )
virtual
virtual const char* itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::GetNameOfClass ( ) const

Run-time type information (and related methods).

Reimplemented from itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizerBase.

virtual double itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::GetPersonalCoefficient ( )

static Pointer itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::New ( )

Method for creation through the object factory.

Examples:

virtual void itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::PrintSelf ( std::ostream &  os,
Indent  indent

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizerBase.

virtual void itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::SetGlobalCoefficient ( double  _arg)

virtual void itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizer::SetInertiaCoefficient ( double  _arg)
virtual

The Particle swarm optimizer uses the following update formula: v_i(t+1) = w*v_i(t) + c_1*uniform(0,1)*(p_i-x_i(t)) + c_2*uniform(0,1)*(p_g-x_i(t)) x_i(t+1) = clampToBounds(x_i(t) + v_i(t+1)) where w - inertia constant c_1 - personal coefficient c_2 - global coefficient p_i - parameters yielding the best function value obtained by this particle p_g - parameters yielding the best function value obtained by all particles
