highly significantp ~ 1e-4
While MEASSA’s performance advantage is most pronounced and highly significant (p ~ 1e-4) against simpler algorithms like SCA, GWO, and its predecessor ASSA, it also maintains a clear and statistically significant edge (p < 0.05) over its closest competitors, mJS and PSO-ACO, which show the smallest yet still definitive p-values (p ~ 1e-2 to 1e-3).
