Preference Based Indicator MODE

Preference Based Indicator Multi-objective Differential Evolution

This code runs the PBI_MODE algorithm. It is a MOEA using as a diversity, convergence and preference mechanism a quality indicator of the approximated Pareto front. In particular, it uses the Differential Evolution algorithm as evolutionary process.
