Applied Statistical Indicators to the Vehicle RoutingProblem with Time Windows for Discriminate Appropriately the Best Algorithm

摘要

In this paper, we propose indicators based on the position method of the descriptive statistic for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). The indicators are based on the calculation of the median; they will serve altogether with the technique of discriminant analysis to select appropriately the algorithm that better solves an instance of the VRPTW.
