On the Optimal Convergence Probability of Univariate Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we obtain bounds on the probability of convergence to the optimal solution for the compact genetic algorithm (cGA) and the population based incremental learning (PBIL). Moreover, we give a sufficient condition for convergence of these algorithms to the optimal solution and compute a range of possible values for algorithm parameters at which there is convergence to the optimal solution with a predefined confidence level.

Evaluation of estimation methods for parameters of the probability functions in tree diameter distribution modeling
One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimal Parameters for Finite Plates with a Quasi-Square Hole
This paper aims at optimizing the parameters involved in stress analysis of perforated plates, in order to achieve the least amount of stress around the square-shaped holes located in a finite isotropic plate using metaheuristic optimization algorithms. Metaheuristics may be classified into three main classes: evolutionary, physics-based, and swarm intelligence algorithms. This research uses Ge...
متن کاملAlmost Sure Convergence of Kernel Bivariate Distribution Function Estimator under Negative Association
Let {Xn ,n=>1} be a strictly stationary sequence of negatively associated random variables, with common distribution function F. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the two-dimensional distribution function of (X1, Xk+1) for fixed $K /in N$ based on kernel type estimators. We introduce asymptotic normality and properties and moments. From these we derive the optimal bandwidth...
متن کاملMissing data imputation in multivariable time series data
Multivariate time series data are found in a variety of fields such as bioinformatics, biology, genetics, astronomy, geography and finance. Many time series datasets contain missing data. Multivariate time series missing data imputation is a challenging topic and needs to be carefully considered before learning or predicting time series. Frequent researches have been done on the use of diffe...
