Abstract

The Estimation of Distribution Algorithm is a new class of population based search methods in that a probabilistic model of individuals are estimated based on the high quality individuals and used to generate the new individuals. In this paper we compute 1) some upper bounds on the number of iterations required for global convergence of EDA 2) the exact number of iterations needed for EDA to converge to global optima.
