Evaluating Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms Using MCDM Methods

The evaluation of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) involves many metrics, it can be considered as a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. A framework is proposed to estimate MOEAs, in which six MOEAs, five performance metrics, and two MCDM methods are used. An experimental...

Description
Summary:The evaluation of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) involves many metrics, it can be considered as a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. A framework is proposed to estimate MOEAs, in which six MOEAs, five performance metrics, and two MCDM methods are used. An experimental study is designed and thirteen benchmark functions are selected to validate the proposed framework. The experimental results have indicated that the framework is effective in evaluating MOEAs.
