Popis: This chapter presents an entropy-based convergence measurement applicable to Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. Based on the measured entropy, the time point when the generation of new solutions becomes ineffective, can be detected. The proposed termination criterion is inherent to the complexity of used probabilistic models and automatically postpones the termination if inappropriate models are used.
