copulaedas (version 1.2.1)
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms Based on Copulas
Description
This package intends to provide a platform where EDAs
(Estimation of Distribution Algorithms) based on copulas can be
implemented and studied. It contains complete implementations
of various EDAs based on copulas and vines and also offers the
possibility of implementing new algorithms that can be
integrated into the package. EDAs are implemented using S4
classes with generic functions for its main parts: seeding,
selection, learning, sampling, replacement, local optimization,
termination, and reporting. The package also provides a group
of well-known benchmark problems and utility functions to study
the behavior of EDAs.
