Binary plant rhizome growth-based optimization algorithm: an efficient high-dimensional feature selection approach by Jin Zhang, Fu Yan, Jianqiang Yang

“…This paper introduces an innovative intelligent optimization algorithm, the Plant Root Growth Optimization (PRGO) algorithm, inspired by the structure of plant rhizomes and the way they absorb nutrients.In the algorithm, the plant rhizomes are divided into two categories, the taproot and the fibrous root.the growth process of the taproot plants is associated with the global exploration search, and the growth process of the fibrous root plants relates to the local exploitation search.The global asymptotic convergence of the algorithm is proved by applying Markov’s correlation theory, and simulation results using CEC2014 and CEC2017 test sets show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance.Moreover, a binary variant of this algorithm (BPRGO) has been specifically crafted in this research to tackle the complexities of high-dimensional feature selection issues. …”
