Popis: In this work, an evolutionary algorithm with no parameters called FPBIL (parameter free PBIL) is developed based on PBIL (population-based incremental learning). Moreover, the analysis reveals how the parameters from PBIL can be replaced by self-adaptable mechanisms which appear from the radically different form by which the evolution is processed. Despite the advantages, the FPBIL reveals itself compact and relatively modest in the use of computational resources. The FPBIL is then applied to the nuclear reload problem. The experimental results observed are compared to those of other works and corroborate to affirm the superiority of the new algorithm.
