BSASoptim(fn, init = NULL, lower = c(-6, 0), upper = c(-1, 2),
  k = 5, constr = NULL, d0 = 0.001, d1 = 3, eta_d = 0.95,
  l0 = 0, l1 = 0, eta_l = 0.95, step = 0.8, eta_step = 0.95,
  n = 200, seed = NULL, trace = T, steptol = 0.01, p_min = 0.2,
  p_step = 0.2, n_flag = 2, pen = 1e+05)

Arguments

fn

objective function; function need to be optimized

init

default = NULL, it will generate randomly; Of course, you can specify it.

lower

lower of parameters to be estimated; Default = c(-6,0) because of the test on Michalewicz function of which thelower is c(-6,0); By the way, you should set one of init or lower parameter at least to make the code know the dimensionality of your problem.

upper

upper of parameters; Default = c(-1,2).

k

a positive integer.k is the number of beetles for exploring in every iteration.

constr

constraint function. For example, you can formulate \(x<=10\) as \(constr = function(x) return(x - 10)\).

d0

a constant to gurantee that sensing length of antennae d doesn't equal to zero. More specifically, $$d^t = \eta_d * d^{t-1} + d_0$$where attenuation coefficient \(\eta_d\) belongs to \([0,1]\)

d1

initial value of antenae length. You can specify it according to your problem scale

eta_d

attenuation coefficient of sensing length of antennae

l0

position jitter factor constant.Default = 0.

l1

initial position jitter factor.Default = 0.$$x = x - step * dir * sign(fn(left) - fn(right)) + l *random(npars)$$

eta_l

attenuation coefficient of jitter factor.$$l^t = \eta_l * l^{t-1} + l_0$$

step

initial step-size of beetle

eta_step

attenuation coefficient of step-size.$$step^t = \eta_step * step^{t-1}$$

n

iterations times

seed

random seed; default = NULL ; The results of BAS depend on random init value and random directions. Therefore, if you set a random seed, for example,seed = 1, the results will remain the same no matter how many times you repeat your experiments.

trace

default = T; trace the process of BAS iteration.

steptol

default = 0.01; Iteration will stop if step-size in current moment is less than steptol.

p_min

a constant belongs to [0,1]. If random generated value is lager than p_min and there are better positions in k beetles than current position, the next position of beetle will be the best position in k beetles. $$x_{best} = argmin(fn(x_i^t))$$ where \(i belongs [1,2,...,k]\) If random generated value is smaller than(<=) p_min and there are better positions in k beetles than current position, the next position of the beetle could be the random position within better positions.

p_step

a constant belongs to [0,1].If no better position in k beetles than current position, there is still a samll probability that step-size doesn't update. If you set a little k, you could set p_step slightly large.

n_flag

an positive integer; default = 2; If step-size doesn't update for successive n_flag times because p_step is larger than random generated value, the step-size will be forced updating. If you set a large p_step, set a small n_flag is suggested.

pen

penalty conefficient usually predefined as a large enough value, default 1e5

Value

A list including best beetle position (parameters) and corresponding objective function value.
