Table 1 Correspondence between bee’s behavior and optimization

From: Piecewise modelling and parameter estimation of repairable system failure rate

Bee searches for nectar source

Optimization

Location of nectar source

Value of all θ = (a 1, b 1, t 0, a 2, b 2, t 1)

Quality of nectar source

Fitness value corresponding to all θ, i.e. L(S1,S2,…,Sn|θ)

Speed of gathering honey

Solving speed

Maximum fitness

max L(S 1,S 2,…,S n |θ)
