Abstract

Estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is a variant of evolution algorithms, which is based on construction and sampling of probability model. Nowadays the copula theory is often utilized for the probability model estimation to simplify this process. We made comparison of two classes of copulas - elliptical and Archimedean ones - for the set of standard optimization benchmarks. The experimental results con firm our assumption that the elliptical copulas outperform the Archimedean ones namely in the case of the complex optimization problems.
