      New methods for generating populations in Markov network based EDAs: Decimation strategies and model-based template recombination 

      Santana Hermida, Roberto ORCID; Mendiburu Alberro, Alexander; Lozano Alonso, José Antonio (2012-12-27)
      Methods for generating a new population are a fundamental component of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs). They serve to transfer the information contained in the probabilistic model to the new generated population. ...
