The estimation of distribution algorithm is widely used to solve global optimization problems in recent years. The basic idea is using machine learning methods to extract relevant features of the search space among the selected individuals and to construct a probabilistic model for sampling new solutions. As we know, EDAs mainly focus on the global distribution information of population and are lack of solution location information. In this paper, we extend our previous work to propose a new EDA guided by the mean shift method, which is originally proposed as a density estimation method and is used as a local search method in this paper. In the new approach, at first a set of candidate solutions are generated by EDA. Then the mean shift method is used to refine some good parent solutions. Finally the sampled candidate solutions and the refined solutions are combined to form the offspring solutions. By this way, the global distribution information and the solution location information are used in offspring reproduction. We apply the new approach to a set of test instances and the experiment results indicate that the new algorithm can obtain good performance in most functions with a faster convergence rate.

PID controller is used in most of the course-keeping closed-loop control of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). However, the parameters of PID are difficult to tuning. In this paper, we adopt an elitism estimation of distribution algorithm (EEDA) to optimize the PID, which makes use of the probabilistic model to estimate the optimal solution distribution. It has a better global searching ability. A linear Nomoto model is adopted to simulate the USV, and the PID controller is used to control the course of the USV. The simulation results exhibit the validity of the EEDA.

An estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is proposed to solve resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). In the EDA, individual is encoded based on the extended active list, and a probability model of the distribution for each activity in a project and its updating mechanism are proposed. The algorithm determines the initial probability matrix according to an initial set of solutions generated by the regret-based sampling method and priority rule, and decodes the individuals by using serial schedule generation scheme. Meanwhile, a permutation based local search method is incorporated into the algorithm to enhance the exploitation ability so as to further improve the searching quality. Simulation results based on benchmarks and comparisons with some existing algorithms demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed EDA.

Contract distribution is widely exists in modem commercial society, which mainly depends on qualitative analysis, and there still lack studies of quantitative analysis. Based on multi-objective estimation of distribution algorithm (MOEDA), quantitative research idea on contract distribution is explored in this article. First of all, Multi-objective optimization model is built for contract distribution. Then, the algorithm flow base on MOEDA is designed. At last, simulations are carried out and compare with multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The simulation results show that the MOEDA performs better than MOGA, and verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method in optimization of contract distribution.

This paper proposes an innovative hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm (HEDA) for the no-wait flow-shop scheduling problem (NFSSP) with sequence dependent setup times (SDSTs) and release dates (RDs) to minimize the total completion time (TCT), which has been proved to be typically NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with strong engineering background. Firstly, a speed-up evaluation method is developed according to the property of NFSSP with SDSTs and RDs. Secondly, the genetic information both order of jobs and the promising blocks of jobs are concerned to generate the guided probabilistic model. Thirdly, after the HEDA based global exploration, a problem dependent local search is developed to emphasize exploitation. Due to the reasonable balance between HEDA based global search and problem-dependent local search as well as the comprehensive utilization of the speed-up evaluation, TCT-NFSSP with SDSTs and RDs can be solved effectively and efficiently. Computational results and comparisons demonstrate the superiority of HEDA in terms of searching quality, robustness, and efficiency.

A multi-carpooling model is proposed for the multi-vehicle carpooling problem in distributed parallel computing environment. A two-stage stochastic optimization of the estimation of distribution algorithm solves the optimum of the multi-carpooling problem with a carpooling probabilistic matrix. A ridable matrix initiates the carpooling probabilistic matrix, and the carpooling probabilistic matrix continues updating during the optimization. The carpooling model mines efficient and compromised ridesharing routes for shared riders by the optimization iterations. Experimental results indicate that the carpooling model has the characteristics of effective and efficient traffic including shorter waiting time, more passenger load, and less average riding distance.

With a multitude of reaction pathways, poly (ethylene-terephthalate) (PET) polymerization of industrial practice is complex, and the quality of PET is normally described in terms of several experimentally measured indices. In this paper, parameters estimation of industrial PET reactors is presented as a multi-objective problem to make the mathematic model consistent with the actual industrial process. Considering the interrelation among parameters and the failure of general optimization algorithms, a new multi-objective estimation of distribution algorithm is proposed. Kernel density estimation is used to make the new population more suitable for real-life problems instead of Gaussian model during the evolution of the algorithm. Strategies including selection of kernel width, sampling method and Pareto domination selection are used to explore and exploit the search space more efficiently. With industrial operating data identified in steady state and eliminated from gross error, kinetic parameters are estimated by minimizing carboxyl end group concentration and degree of polymerization simultaneously using the proposed algorithm. The simulation results show that the model with estimated parameters has better predictive performance compared with the experimental parameters.

A portfolio selection problem is about finding an optimal scheme to allocate a fixed amount of capital to a set of available assets. The optimal scheme is very helpful for investors in making decisions. However, finding the optimal scheme is difficult and time-consuming especially when the number of assets is large and some actual investment constraints are considered. This paper proposes a new approach based on estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) for solving a cardinality constrained portfolio selection (CCPS) problem. The proposed algorithm, termed PBILCCPS, hybridizes an EDA called population-based incremental learning (PBIL) algorithm and a continuous PBIL (PBILc) algorithm, to optimize the selection of assets and the allocation of capital respectively. The proposed algorithm adopts an adaptive parameter control strategy and an elitist strategy. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with a genetic algorithm and a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a satisfactory result for portfolio selection and perform well in searching nondominated portfolios with high expected returns.
