  • Abstract
    Individuals in the particle swarm population were “stereotyped” by cluster analysis of their previous best positions. The cluster centers then were substituted for the individuals´ and neighbors´ best previous positions in the algorithm. The experiments, which were inspired by the social-psychological metaphor of social stereotyping, found that performance could be generally improved by substituting individuals´, but not neighbors´, cluster centers for their previous bests
