MRCPSP is a notoriously difficult problem in combinatorial optimization for which extensive investigation has been devoted to the development of efficient algorithms to find optimal or near-optimal solutions [7, 25, 30, 45]. Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are some of the most powerful evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The first motivation behind the emergence of EDAs, is to identify and exploit the linkage between variables in the solution in order to assist the evolution. Unlike other EAs, EDAs do not use crossover or mutation. Instead, they explicitly extract global statistical information from the previous search and build a posterior probability model of promising solutions, based on the extracted information UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
