Example Usage

See the /test folder for complete examples. Here's a quick overview of running different metaheuristics:

# Example with Partition Problem
from anmetal.problems.nphard_real import Partition_Real
from anmetal.population.PSO.PSOMH_Real import PSOMH_Real

# Create problem instance
problem = Partition_Real(seed=0, num_dims=200)

# Create and run metaheuristic
mh = PSOMH_Real(problem.min_x, problem.max_x, problem.ndim, False,
                problem.objective_function, problem.repair_function,
                problem.preprocess_function)

# Run optimization
fitness, solution = mh.run(verbose=True, iterations=100, population=30,
                         omega=0.8, phi_g=1, phi_p=0.5, seed=115)

Algorithm Parameters

Each metaheuristic has its own set of parameters. Here are some common ones:

• Common Parameters

  • iterations: Number of iterations
  • population: Population size
  • seed: Random seed for reproducibility
  • verbose: Whether to print progress

• Algorithm-Specific Parameters

  • ABC: limit
  • ACO: evaporation_rate, alpha, beta
  • BAT: fmin, fmax, A, r0
  • CUCKOO: pa
  • FIREFLY: alpha, beta0, gamma
  • GA: mutation_rate, crossover_rate
  • HS: hmcr, par, bw
  • PSO: omega, phi_g, phi_p

For detailed parameter descriptions and recommended values, see the respective algorithm implementations in the source code.
