To learn the structure of highly-reliable Bayesian networks from data as quickly as possible is one of the important problems that several studies have been tried to achieve. In recent years, probability-based evolutionary algorithms have been proposed as a new efficient approach to learn Bayesian networks. In this paper, we target on one of the probability-based evolutionary algorithms called PBIL (Probability-Based Incremental Learning), and propose a new mutation operator. Through performance evaluation, we found that the proposed mutation operator has a good performance in learning Bayesian networks}, year = {2014}, journal = {International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, pages = {7-13}, month = {12/2014}, issn = {1989-1660}, url = {http://www.ijimai.org/journal/sites/default/files/files/2014/11/ijimai20143_1_1_pdf_24199.pdf}, doi = {10.9781/ijimai.2014.311}, }
