Abstract Many nature­inspired optimization algorithms have recently been proposed to solve difficult optimization problems where the mathematical gradient­based approaches could not be used. However, those approaches were often not tested on a proper set of problems. Moreover, statistical tests are sometimes not used to validate the conclusions. Therefore, empirical analyses of such approaches are needed. In this paper, a very recent nature­inspired approach, symbiosis organisms search (SOS), is investigated. A set of unbiased and characteristically different problems are used to study the performance of SOS. In addition, a comparison with some recent optimization methods is conducted. Then, the effect of SOS only parameter, eco_size, is studied, and the use of different random distributions is also explored. Finally, three simple SOS variants are proposed and compared to the original SOS. Conclusions are validated using nonparametric statistical tests.
