Toward Understanding EDAs Based on Bayesian Networks Through a Quantitative Analysis Authors: Alexander Mendiburu,Carlos Echegoyen,R. Santana,Jose A. Lozano The successful application of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) to solve different kinds of problems has reinforced their candidature as promising black-box optimization tools. However, their internal behavior is still not completely understood and therefore it is necessary to work in… Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)	2012-04-01
