Abstract

This study proposes a method to improve fractional-order particle swarm optimizer to overcome the shortcomings of traditional swarm algorithms, such as low search accuracy in a high-dimensional space, falling into local minimums, and nonrobust results. In natural phenomena, our controllable fractional-order particle swarm optimizer can explore search spaces in detail to obtain high resolutions. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is memorable, i.e., position updates focus on the particle position of previous and last generations, rendering it conservative when updating the position, and obtained results are robust. For verifying the algorithm’s effectiveness, 11 test functions compare the average value, overall best value, and standard deviation of the controllable fractional-order particle swarm optimizer and controllable particle swarm optimizer; experimental results show that the stability of the former is better than the latter. Furthermore, the solution position found by the controllable fractional-order particle swarm optimizer is more reliable. Therefore, the improved method proposed herein is effective. Moreover, this research describes how a heart disease prediction application uses the optimizer we proposed to optimize XGBoost hyperparameters with custom target values. The final verification of the obtained prediction model is effective and reliable, which shows the controllability of our proposed fractional-order particle swarm optimizer.
