TRIBES is a parameter-free PSO implementation by Maurice Clerc. It combines several adaptive
|
|
mechanisms to achieve good performance in different domains. It uses a dynamic number of particles,
|
|
starting usually with 3 and adding new ones during optimization. Therefore, the number of generations
|
|
is not directly connected to the number of fitness calls,
|
|
because the population may grow (and seldomly shrink).<br>
|
|
|
|
Also, there are different initialization
|
|
methods implemented which are chosen randomly when particles are created. The particles are organized
|
|
in loosely connected groups or tribes (therefore the name), creating a kind of small-world topology.
|

|
|
As TRIBES uses an error approximation to steer the adaptations, a target value should be given, so far in the first
|
|
dimension only.
