Empirical Study on How to Set Prices for Cruise Cabins Based on Improved Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This essay puts forward a cruise pricing model based on improved quantum particle swarm optimization, aiming at optimizing the pricing strategy and realizing the maximum sales income expected. Firstly, we combine the two factors – actual booking records and expected booking records in the process of cruises pricing – and improve the dynamic price-setting model based on demand learning put forward earlier. Then we improve the Dynamically Changing Weight’s Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (DCWQPSO) based on multistage punish function, in order to faster the converging speed and avoid the problem of local optimum. Lastly, we use the improved DCWQPSO to find the best expected sales income in the improved pricing model. The instance analysis of cruise pricing shows that the process of constructing this model is reliable and logical. Also this model could better higher the maximum expected sales inc ome and better perform in future application. Keyswords: cruise pricing, improved pricing model, multistage punish function, improved DCWQPSO, maximum expected sales income

Shear wave velocity is a basic engineering tool required to define dynamic properties of soils. In many instances it may be preferable to determine Vs indirectly by common in-situ tests, such as the Standard Penetration Test. Many empirical correlations based on the Standard Penetration Test are broadly classified as regression techniques. However, no rigorous procedure has been published for c...
متن کاملAn Improved Particle Swarm Optimizer Based on a Novel Class of Fast and Efficient Learning Factors Strategies
The particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is a population-based metaheuristic optimization method that can be applied to a wide range of problems but it has the drawbacks like it easily falls into local optima and suffers from slow convergence in the later stages. In order to solve these problems, improved PSO (IPSO) variants, have been proposed. To bring about a balance between the exploration and ex...
