Short summary
We evaluated three meta-heuristic algorithms using resistivity data. An enormous solution is assessed and the best-fitted solutions are chosen. The posterior probability density function with a 68.27 % confidence interval, a mean and posterior solution, and correlation and covariance matrix were calculated for the assessment of the uncertainty, stability, and mean model. We found that vPSOGWO provides reliable and consistently better results that are correlated well with borehole information.
