Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA) are stochastic population based search algorithms that use a distribution model of the population to create new candidate solutions. One problem that directly affects the EDAs' ability to find the best solutions is the premature convergence to some local optimum due to diversity loss. Inspired by the Random Immigrants technique, this paper presents the Bayesian...
