A new master-slave binary grey wolf optimizer (MSBGWO) is introduced. A master-slave learning scheme is introduced to the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) to improve its ability to explore and get better solutions in a search space. Five high-dimensional biomedical datasets are used to test the ability of MSBGWO in feature selection. The experimental results of MSBGWO are superior in terms of classification accuracy, precision, recall, F -measure, and number of features selected when compared to those of the binary grey wolf optimizer version 2 (BGWO2), binary genetic algorithm (BGA), binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO), differential evolution (DE) algorithm, and sine-cosine algorithm (SCA).

Grey wolf Optimizer (GWO) is one of the well known meta-heuristic algorithm for determining the minimum value among a set of values. In this paper, we proposed a novel optimization algorithm called collaborative strategy for grey wolf optimizer (CSGWO). This algorithm enhances the behaviour of GWO that enhances the search feature to search for more points in the search space, whereas more groups will search for the global minimal points. The algorithm has been tested on 23 well-known benchmark functions and the results are verified by comparing them with state of the art algorithms: Polar particle swarm optimizer, sine cosine Algorithm (SCA), multi-verse optimizer (MVO), supernova optimizer as well as particle swarm optimizer (PSO). The results show that the proposed algorithm enhanced GWO behaviour for reaching the best solution and showed competitive results that outperformed the compared meta-heuristics over the tested benchmarked functions.

Features extracted from the electromyography (EMG) signal normally consist of irrelevant and redundant features. Conventionally, feature selection is an effective way to evaluate the most informative features, which contributes to performance enhancement and feature reduction. Therefore, this article proposes a new competitive binary grey wolf optimizer (CBGWO) to solve the feature selection problem in EMG signals classification. Initially, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) transforms the EMG signal into time-frequency representation. Ten time-frequency features are extracted from the STFT coefficient. Then, the proposed method is used to evaluate the optimal feature subset from the original feature set. To evaluate the effectiveness of proposed method, CBGWO is compared with binary grey wolf optimization (BGWO1 and BGWO2), binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO), and genetic algorithm (GA). The experimental results show the superiority of CBGWO not only in classification performance, but also feature reduction. In addition, CBGWO has a very low computational cost, which is more suitable for real world application.

Background: There have been rapid developments in various bioinformatics technologies, which have led to the accumulation of a large amount of biomedical data. However, these datasets usually involve thousands of features and include much irrelevant or redundant information, which leads to confusion during diagnosis. Feature selection is a solution that consists of finding the optimal subset, which is known to be an NP problem because of the large search space. Objective: For the issue, this paper proposes a hybrid feature selection method based on an improved chemical reaction optimization algorithm (ICRO) and an information gain (IG) approach, which called IGICRO. Methods: IG is adopted to obtain some important features. The neighborhood search mechanism is combined with ICRO to increase the diversity of the population and improve the capacity of local search. Results: Experimental results of eight public available data sets demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms original CRO and other state-of-the-art approaches.

Optimal scheduling of distributed energy resources (DERs) of a low-voltage utility-connected microgrid system is studied in this paper. DERs include both dispatchable fossil-fueled generators and non-dispatchable renewable energy resources. Various real constraints associated with adjustable loads, charging/discharging limitations of battery, and the start-up/shut-down time of the dispatchable DERs are considered during the scheduling process. Adjustable loads are assumed to the residential loads which either operates throughout the day or for a particular period during the day. The impact of these loads on the generation cost of the microgrid system is studied. A novel hybrid approach considers the grey wolf optimizer (GWO), sine cosine algorithm (SCA), and crow search algorithm (CSA) to minimize the overall generation cost of the microgrid system. It has been found that the generation costs rise 50% when the residential loads were included along with the fixed loads. Active participation of the utility incurred 9–17% savings in the system generation cost compared to the cases when the microgrid was operating in islanded mode. Finally, statistical analysis has been employed to validate the proposed hybrid Modified Grey Wolf Optimization-Sine Cosine Algorithm-Crow Search Algorithm (MGWOSCACSA) over other algorithms used.
