STATISTICALLY GUIDED ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM

Abstract

Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is one of the naturally inspired meta heuristic method. As usual, in a meta heuristic method, intuitively appealing way to have better results is extending calculation time or increasing the fitness evaluation count. But the desired way is acquiring better results with less computation. So in this work a modified Artificial Bee Colony algorithm which can find better results with same computation is developed by benefiting statistical observations.
