“…From these different methods of optimization, Taguchi approach is more powerful technique. From the literature the different optimization techniques used by the researchers are Taguchi method [8,12,14,20,22,27,28,30,32,33,39,41,43,54], FEM [19,23,24,31,34,51], regression analysis (RA) [2,4], artificial neural network (ANN) [2,4], Response surface methodology [3,40], support vector regression (SVR) [4], Surface Texture Analysis [38], principal component analysis [45,49] and Bacterial Foraging Optimization [52].…”
