Abstract

Particle Swarm Optimization is an optimization technique based on the positions of several particles created to find the best solution to a problem. In this work we analyze the accuracy of a modification of this algorithm to classify the levels of risk for a surgery, used as a treatment to correct children malformations that imply congenital heart diseases.
