TRIBES


TRIBES



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).


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.
