A novel binary modified beluga whale optimization algorithm using ring crossover and probabilistic state mutation for enhanced bladder cancer diagnosis

Abstract

Bladder cancer (BC) remains a significant global health challenge, requiring the development of accurate predictive models for diagnosis. In this study, a new Binary Modified White Whale Optimization (B-MBWO) algorithm is proposed to address the BC problem. The proposed method utilizes circular transitivity optimization and the Probabilistic State Mutation Algorithm (PSMA) to enhance its optimization performance. The new method is called the BBWORCPS algorithm. High-dimensional and complex medical datasets pose challenges to the original optimization algorithms in addressing the BC problem, motivating the proposed modifications to the original Beluga Whale Optimization algorithm. These enhancements, including quantum-inspired mutation and circular crossing, aim to improve solution space exploration and enhance the algorithm's effectiveness in handling intricate feature spaces. Through comprehensive experiments on BC datasets, the superiority of the BBWORCPS algorithm in terms of feature selection accuracy and computational efficiency is demonstrated compared to existing optimization methods. The obtained findings suggest that BBWORCPS offers a promising approach for developing more precise and reliable predictive models for bladder cancer analysis.
