Abstract

Estimation-of-distribution algorithm using Cauchy sampling distribution is compared with the iterative prototype optimization algorithm with evolved improvement steps. While Cauchy EDA is better on unimodal functions, iterative prototype optimization is more suitable for multimodal functions. This paper compares the results for both algorithms in more detail and adds to the understanding of their key features and differences.
