Description
Summary:Dipper throated optimization (DTO) algorithm is a novel with a very efficient metaheuristic inspired by the dipper throated bird. DTO has its unique hunting technique by performing rapid bowing movements. To show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, DTO is tested and compared to the algorithms of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Genetic Algorithm (GA) based on the seven unimodal benchmark functions. Then, ANOVA and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests are performed to confirm the effectiveness of the DTO compared to other optimization techniques. Additionally, to demonstrate the proposed algorithm's suitability for solving complex real-world issues, DTO is used to solve the feature selection problem. The strategy of using DTOs as feature selection is evaluated using commonly used data sets from the University of California at Irvine (UCI) repository. The findings indicate that the DTO outperforms all other algorithms in addressing feature selection issues, demonstrating the proposed algorithm's capabilities to solve complex real-world situations.
