Craziness based particle swarm optimization algorithm for IIR system identification problem

Abstract

In this paper a variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO), called craziness based particle swarm optimization (CRPSO) technique is applied to the infinite impulse response (IIR) system identification problem. A modified version of PSO, called CRPSO adopts a number of random variables for having better and faster exploration and exploitation in multidimensional search space. Incorporation of craziness factor in the basic velocity expression of PSO not only brings diversity in particles but also ensures convergence to optimal solution. The proposed CRPSO based system identification approach has alleviated from the inherent drawbacks of premature convergence and stagnation, unlike real coded genetic algorithm (RGA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE). The simulation results obtained for some well known benchmark examples justify the efficacy of the proposed system identification approach using CRPSO over RGA, PSO and DE in terms of convergence speed, unknown plant coefficients and mean square error (MSE) values produced for both the same order and reduced order models of adaptive IIR filters.
