This is the readme for "PSO" a Particle Swarm Optimizer object for PD/MAX.
This implimentation of a PSO minimizes towards a user-defined target. It is based on code from Jim Kennedy and Thomas Grill.

USAGE:
The PSO object requires three arguments (see below). The object has one inlet and three outlets.
In order to calculate one iteration of the PSO send it a bang. The three outlets are:
Outlet 1: A index prepended list of the positions in each dimention of each particle.
Outlet 2: The Minimization value (should move towards 0)
Outlet 3: Outputs a bang when Minimization is reached. (This is a user defined threshold, not 0)
Arguments: [Population Size] [Number of Dimensions] [Neighborhood Size]
PSO Help Method:
'help' - This message.
PSO Setup Methods:
'target [list]' - Specify the optimization target with list of values for each dimension.
'rand_pop [min] [max]' - Randomize the population with values ranging from min to max.
'set_pop [list]' - Set population with list of values for each particle for each dimension.
'set_part [particle] [list]' - Set particle with values for each dimension.
'optim_thresh [int]' - Set the threshold at which minimization is considered reached. (0-10)
PSO Run-Time Methods:
'reset' - Reset the PSO.
bang - Calculate one interation of the PSO.
Have Fun.
