Data and Code for: Performance Evaluation of the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Unambiguously Estimate Plasma Parameters from Incoherent Scatter Radar Signals

This repository contains the datasets and scripts used to obtain the figures of the paper "Performance Evaluation of the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Unambiguously Estimate Plasma Parameters from Incoherent Scatter Radar Signals".

The repository is organized as follows:
- Part I) Monte Carlo simulation codes

- Part II) Monte Carlo simulations using the parameter configuration "Param. 1" of Shi et al. (1999)

- Part III) Monte Carlo simulation using the parameter configuration "Param. 1" of Shi et al. (1999) and a limited ion composition search space

- Part IV) Monte Carlo simulations using the parameter configuration "Param. 2" of Wang et al. (2012)

- Part V) Monte Carlo simulation using the parameter configuration "Param. 2" of Wang et al. (2012) and a limited ion composition search space

- Part VI) Codes to generate all figures of the manuscript

All datasets and scripts were generated and tested using Matlab 2017. Simulations have been executed in parallel on a SLURM cluster, compilation and running scripts are provided.
