Electricity Load Forecasting Using Support Vector Regression with Memetic Algorithms

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode of pattern search for individual learning.

Begin

    Initialize: predefine the default search step Δ₀, initialize current solution 𝑝₀;

    Δ=Δ₀;

    While (Termination conditions are not satisfied)

    Ω={𝑝₀+Δ∗𝑝_𝑘∣foreachcolumn𝑝_𝑘in𝑃_𝑘};

    Evaluate the nearest neighbors in Ω;

    If (there are improvements in the Ω)

      Update the current solution to the best neighbor in Ω; Δ=Δ₀;

    Else

      Decrease the search step Δ=Δ₀/2;

    End If

    End While
