Recently, there has been a growing interest in developing evolutionary algorithms based on probabilistic modeling. In this scheme, the offspring population is generated according to the estimated probability density model of the parents instead of using recombination and mutation operators. With this Japa Applet, we present an evolutionary algorithm using a marginal histogram to model the parent population in a continuous domains. There are two types of marginal histogram models: the fixed-width histogram (FWH) and the fixed-height histogram (FHH). In this applet, how FHH works are shown using simple functions.
