Variable Transformations in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms

چکیده
In this paper we address model selection in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) based on variables trasformations. Instead of the classic approach based on the choice of a statistical model able to represent the interactions among the variables in the problem, we propose to learn a transformation of the variables before the estimation of the parameters of a fixed model in the transformed space. The choice of a proper transformation corresponds to the identification of a model for the selected sample able to implicitly capture higher-order correlations. We apply this paradigm to EDAs and present the novel Function Composition Algorithms (FCAs), based on composition of transformation functions, namely I-FCA and Chain-FCA, which make use of fixed low-dimensional models in the transformed space, yet being able to recover higher-order interactions.

Implicit Model Selection Based on Variable Transformations in Estimation of Distribution
In this paper we address the problem of model selection in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms from a novel perspective. We perform an implicit model selection by transforming the variables and choosing a low dimensional model in the new variable space. We apply such paradigm in EDAs and we introduce a novel algorithm called I-FCA, which makes use of the independence model in the transformed ...
