PSO-Python

A simple implementation of classic Particle Swarm Optimization in Python.

Usage

1. Update the fitFunc function to accurately reflect your fitness function
2. Adjust Np and Nd to reflect your fitness function
3. Adjust xMin, xMax, vMin, and vMax to reflect your fitness function
4. Adjust gBestValue and pBestValue initialization to reflect your fitness function
5. Run the code!
