An Improved Animal Migration Optimization Algorithm for Clustering Analysis

Algorithm 2

An improved animal’s migration optimization algorithm (IAMO).

(1) Begin

(2) Set the generation counter , living area radius , shrinkage coefficient , and randomly initialize

    with a population of animals in solution space

(3) Evaluate the fitness for each individual , record the best individual

(4) While stopping criteria is not satisfied do

(5) Establish a new living area by ,

(6) Animals migrate into the new living area

(7) For   = 1 to    do

(8)  For   = 1 to    do

(9)   Select randomly

(10)   If rand > then

(11)    

(12)   End If

(13) End For

(14) End For

(15) For   = 1 to    do

(16)  Evaluate the offspring

(17)  If   is better than   then

(18)      

(19)  End If

(20) End for

(21)  Memorize the best solution achieved so far

(22)
