China’s Energy Demand Forecasting Based on the Hybrid PSO-LSSVR Model

Table 1

The corresponding relationship between PSO and bird hunting activities.

Bird hunting activities	Particle swarm optimization
Bird flock	A set of valid solutions in a search space
Hunting space	Problem search space
Flying speed	The velocity vector of the solution
The location of the birds	The position vector of the solution
Individual cognition and group collaboration	Update the velocity and position
Finding food	Finding the optimal global solution
