Abstract

This paper is an experimental study investigating the capability of Bayesian optimization algorithms to solve dynamic problems. We tested the performance of two variants of Bayesian optimization algorithms – Mixed continuous-discrete Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (MBOA), Adaptive Mixed Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (AMBOA) – and new proposed modifications with embedded Sentinels concept and Hypervariance. We have compared the performance of these variants on a simple dynamic problem – a time-varying function with predefined parameters. The experimental results confirmed the benefit of Sentinels concept and Hypervariance embedded into MBOA algorithm for tracking a moving optimum.
