This paper investigates how the Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA) behaves in non-stationary environments when engaging in sampling and selection strategies designe...
Building cost estimation models is often considered a search problem in which the solver should return an optimal solution satisfying an objective function. This solution also nee...
