Abstract
This article introduces a novel nature-inspired algorithm called the Plum Tree Algorithm (PTA), which has the biology of the plum trees as its main source of inspiration. The PTA was tested and validated using 24 benchmark objective functions, and it was further applied and compared to the following selection of representative state-of-the-art, nature-inspired algorithms: the Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm, the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), and the Horse Optimization Algorithm (HOA). The results obtained with the PTA are comparable to the results obtained by using the other nature-inspired optimization algorithms. The PTA returned the best overall results for the 24 objective functions tested. This article presents the application of the PTA for weight optimization for an ensemble of four machine learning regressors, namely, the Random Forest Regressor (RFR), the Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR), the AdaBoost Regressor (AdaBoost), and the Extra Trees Regressor (ETR), which are used for the prediction of the heating load and cooling load requirements of buildings, using the Energy Efficiency Dataset from UCI Machine Learning as experimental support. The PTA optimized ensemble-returned results such as those returned by the ensembles optimized with the GWO, the CS, and the CSA.
