RefVariantMethodologyObjective

[33]Hybrid GWO-HHOMutation-based GWO is used to update the bottom layer in the population, and HHO is used to find global optimal solution in the upper layerTo optimize the parameters of phase space reconstruction and kernel-based extreme ML algorithms to predict the wind speeds accurately
[34]Modified HHOTo improve the exploration phase’s global search, the Levy flight is used to generate the ambiguous zigzag position of the prey once the hawk is deductedTo relieve the PV systems from the issue of mismatch power loss problems resulting due to the phenomenon of partial shading
[35]Chaotic HHOHHO is enhanced with ten chaotic functions to avoid local optima trapping of conventional HHOTo accurately estimate the proton exchange membrane fuel cell’s operating parameters that mimic and simulate its electrical performance
[36]Improved HHOInstead of random location, the rabbit location is used to find the optimal positionTo find the location of distribution generation optimally in a radial distribution system to minimize the voltage deviation and total active power loss and also to increase the voltage stability index under several operational constraints
[14]Diversification enhanced HHO (EHHO)OBL is used in HHO to do a comprehensive search. The OBL is used to select each agent’s opposite position to select the optimal agent from the available pool, and its opposite agent will be treated as the next-generation agent in HHOTo identify the optimal agents and unknown parameters of modules of PV model
[37]Hybrid of HHO and GOAThe ensemble of GOA-ANN and HHO-ANN is performed, and then, optimal of these two is found by a process known as sensitivity analysisTo optimize the artificial neural network for predicting SCC dataset
[38]HHOSASA is used to optimize HHO and improve its global convergenceTo optimize the design parameters of highway guardrail systems
[39]HHO-FORMThe reliability index is formulated in the HHO-FORM model for a constrained optimization problem. Later, the exterior penalty methodology is used to handle the constraints. HHO determines the optimal reliability index to improve the convergence through the strategy of Levy Flight and population-based mechanismTo reduce the high dimensionality in designing and analyzing risks of structuring in civil engineering
[40]HHO-minimum cross-entropy (MCE)-MCET-HHOMCET is used as a fitness function in HHO for determining optimal thresholds to segment an imageTo find the optimal configuration of thresholds for image processing
[41]Hybrid WHHOWOA is integrated with HHO to improve the convergence rate of HHO in obtaining global optimumTo classify brain tumor using MRI images
