BBOB-benchmarking a simple estimation of distribution algorithm with cauchy distribution
The restarted estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) with Cauchy distribution as the probabilistic model is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. These tests prove that when using ...

Why one must use reweighting in estimation of distribution algorithms
We study the update of the distribution in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, and show that a simple modiļ¬cation leads to unbiased estimates of the optimum. The simple modiļ...

When is an estimation of distribution algorithm better than an evolutionary algorithm?
ā€”Despite the wide-spread popularity of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs), there has been no theoretical proof that there exist optimisation problems where EDAs perform...
