Description
Particle Swarm Optimisation(PSO) is a Stochastic maximisation scheme which
quickly converges to global maxima. We apply PSO to maximise the match
between the GW signal and the modelled template waveform. One of the
advantages of PSO-based detection is that we do not need pre-determined
template placement, which allows the search to be extended to an arbitrary
parameter space. In contrast to standard search methods, the parameter
estimated at the search is accurate. We present our analysis of GW
detection using the PSO algorithm.
