Three benchmark classification problems: Iris, Newthyroid and Glass are conducted to measure the performance of PSOOFT based MFNN. The simulation results are also compared with obtained using back Propagation (BP), genetic algorithm (GA) and standard PSO (SPSO) approaches to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of PSOOFT.}, identifier = {05367634}, }
