Design of Classifier Based on Particle Swarm Algorithm

This paper proposes the use of particle swarm optimization(PSO)as a method for classification rule discovery and accomplishes a particle swarm classifier.To make it suitable for PSO algorithm,it designs a new classification rule coding and defines a function for evaluating classification rule.To test its performance,UCI repository used for machine learning is used for experimental testing.The result indicates that PSO classifier is an available and feasible classifier for data mining.
