METAHEURISTICHYBRIDIZATION: MEMETICALGORITHM

Abstract

In today'stimes, themajority of investors are willingeasygains, andtheeasiestwayistoinvest in productive domains, eveniftheriskstheyhavetotake are veryhigh, but these are notthelast problem. The real problem for investorsistotaketherightdecisionand, for that, theyhavetobuildforecastmodels, tomakesomeassumptions for defaultvariables, which are difficulttounderstand. Torefinethepredictionprocess, researchershavedevelopedhybridmodels for forecasting. A famousclass of allthesetechniquesis in themetaheuristicsdomain. The purpose of thispaperistopresentthehybridizationprocessandhybridalgorithms. More over, anothergoalistorevealsomepossibilities of metaheuristics, such as hybridization of algorithms.
