Parameter Selection in Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper first analyzes the impact that inertia weight and maximum velocity have on the performance of the particle swarm optimizer, and then provides guidelines for selecting these two parameters. Analysis of experiments demonstrates the validity of these guidelines.
