Based on unconstrained optimization and genetic algorithm, this paper presents a constrained genetic algorithm (CGA) for learning Bayesian network structure. Firstly, an undirected graph is obtained by solving an unconstrained optimization problem. Then based on the undirected graph, the initial population is generated, and selection, crossover and mutation operators are used to learn Bayesian network structure. Since the space of generating the initial population is constituted by some candidate edges of the optimal Bayesian network, the initial population has good property. Compared with the methods which use genetic algorithm (GA) to learn Bayesian network structure directly, the proposed method is more efficiency.

Background and Objective. Mining the genes related to maize carotenoid components is important to improve the carotenoid content and the quality of maize. Methods. On the basis of using the entropy estimation method with Gaussian kernel probability density estimator, we use the three-phase dependency analysis (TPDA) Bayesian network structure learning method to construct the network of maize gene and carotenoid components traits. Results. In the case of using two discretization methods and setting different discretization values, we compare the learning effect and efficiency of 10 kinds of Bayesian network structure learning methods. The method is verified and analyzed on the maize dataset of global germplasm collection with 527 elite inbred lines. Conclusions. The result confirmed the effectiveness of the TPDA method, which outperforms significantly another 9 kinds of Bayesian network learning methods. It is an efficient method of mining genes for maize carotenoid components traits. The parameters obtained by experiments will help carry out practical gene mining effectively in the future.
