opytimizer.optimizers.boolean.umda¶

Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm.

class opytimizer.optimizers.boolean.umda.UMDA(params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None)¶

An UMDA class, inherited from Optimizer.

This is the designed class to define UMDA-related variables and methods.

__init__(params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) → None¶

Initialization method.

Parameters:	params – Contains key-value parameters to the meta-heuristics.

_calculate_probability(agents: List[opytimizer.core.agent.Agent]) → numpy.ndarray¶

Calculates probabilities based on pre-selected agents’ variables occurrence (eq. 47).

Parameters:	agents – List of pre-selected agents.
Returns:	Probability of variables occurence.
Return type:	(np.ndarray)

_sample_position(probs: numpy.ndarray) → numpy.ndarray¶

Samples new positions according to their probability of ocurrence (eq. 53).

Parameters:	probs – Array of probabilities.
Returns:	New sampled position.
Return type:	(np.ndarray)

update(space: opytimizer.core.space.Space) → None¶

Wraps Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm over all agents and variables.

Parameters:	space – Space containing agents and update-related information.
