Empower fuzzy cognitive maps decision making abilities with swarm intelligence algorithms

The proposed hybrid algorithm aims at defining an FCM by the information carried by a large dataset about a specific problem, taking into consideration the BCO and FPO principles. The link between them is represented by the application of the DB-Scan clustering technique allowing to identify the right number of cluster without knowing it a priopri. The hybridisation highlights the efficacy of the algorithm in estimating the correlations among the factors involved for a specific problem, with low RMSE and computational time, demonstrated by the case study example
