Zusammenfassung:In this data article, we present the data used to evaluate the statistical success of the backtracking search optimisation algorithm (BSA) in comparison with the other four evolutionary optimisation algorithms. The data presented in this data article is related to the research article entitles ‘Operational Framework for Recent Advances in Backtracking Search Optimisation Algorithm: A Systematic Review and Performance Evaluation’ [1]. Three statistical tests conducted on BSA compared to differential evolution algorithm (DE), particle swarm optimisation (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC), and firefly algorithm (FF). The tests are used to evaluate these mentioned algorithms and to determine which one could solve a specific optimisation problem concerning the statistical success of 16 benchmark problems taking several criteria into account. The criteria are initializing control parameters, dimension of the problems, their search space, and number of iterations needed to minimise a problem, the performance of the computer used to code the algorithms and their programming style, getting a balance on the effect of randomization, and the use of different type of optimisation problem in terms of hardness and their cohort. In addition, all the three tests include necessary statistical measures (Mean: mean-solution, S.D.: standard-deviation of mean-solution, Best: the best solution, Worst: the worst solution, Exec. Time: mean runtime in seconds, No. of succeeds: number of successful minimisation, and No. of Failure: number of failed minimisation).
