distribution-based

evolutionary optimization strat that explicitly maintains a parametric distribution $p_{\theta }$ over solutions and updates the distribution parameters ($\mu ,C,\sigma ,\dots$) to increase the likelihood of sampling high-fitness solutions.

Variants

• evolution strategies
• natural evolution strategies
• cma-es
