The paper presents an extension of Vose’s Markov chain model for genetic algorithm (GA). The model contains not only standard genetic operators such as mutation and crossover bu...
— Multi-agent coordination problems can be cast as distributed optimization tasks. Probability Collectives (PCs) are techniques that deal with such problems in discrete and conti...
A logic is de ned that allows to express information about statistical probabilities and about degrees of belief in speci c propositions. By interpreting the twotypes of probabili...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) are similar to genetic algorithms except that they replace crossover and mutation with sampling from an estimated probability distributi...

In the paper a new measure of distance between events/observations in the pattern space is proposed and experimentally evaluated with the use of k-NN classifier in the context of b...
