Projection Pursuit model based on Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm and its application

For researching an effective method in groundwater vulnerability assessment, based on the Projection Pursuit technique and Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm, a new groundwater vulnerability evaluation model was built. Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm was proposed and applied to the model optimization, which could deal with global optimization problem with various restrictions effectively. The case study in Liaocheng shows that this model can give appropriate assessment in the study field of groundwater vulnerability. This model can provide useful information for groundwater management and the acceptable respresentativeness of the results showed that this model can be populized.
