This paper represents the following improvement of evolutionary analog circuit design on the base of the univariate marginal distribution algorithm. Experiments have indicated that the high mutation rate increases the success rate, although the computational expenses are increased as well. An effective mutation rate is considered with respect to a high success rate and small computational expenses. Experiments for analog arrays are discussed.
