Definition of performance metrics.

MeasureDefinitionCriterionFormula

NOSIndicates the number of achieved solution in the Pareto frontL—

Spacing metric (SM)Shows that whether the achieved solutions in the Pareto front are distributed evenlyS

Mean ideal distance (MID)Presents the mean distance among the solutions of Pareto set from the ideal solutionS

Quality metric (QM)Presents the contribution of the algorithm regarding to all nondominated solutionsL

Solving time (CPU time)Running time of the algorithmS—

S: smaller value is better; L: larger value is better.
