Approaches to selection and their effect on fitness modelling in an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm

Originality: the approach to selection for probabilistic model building; and use of product moment correlation to assess model quality. These have influenced other authors using low-quality or infeasible solutions in probabilistic model building (doi: 10.1109/FUZZY.2009.5277373 , DOI: 10.1145/2001576.2001659). Our approach was listed in 2010 as sole published method for qualitative analysis of Markov Network EDAs, in contrast to many available approaches for Bayesian Network EDAs [1]. This was published in a world-leading EDA track.
