Bacterial Colony Algorithms for Association Rule Mining in Static and Stream Data

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode of the BFO algorithm [36].

procedure [P] = BFO(,,,,,,)

initialize P()

for l=0 todo//Elimination-dispersal loop

for k=0 todo//Reproduction loop

for j=0 todo//Chemotaxis loop

Apply chemotaxis

foreach Bacterium in P do

if Fitness(Bacterium) ≥ Fitness()then

Bacterium

end if

end foreach

end for//Chemotaxis

P SortByCellFitness(P,)

P = Clone(P)

end for//Reproduction

foreach Bacterium in Population do

if Random() ≤ then

Bacterium BacteriumAtRandLocation()

end if

end foreach

end for//Elimination-dispersal

return

end procedure
