This paper proposes an improvement of evolutionary algorithms for dynamic objective functions with a prediction mechanism based on the Autore-gressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model It extends the Infeasibility Driven Evolutionary Algorithm (IDEA) that maintains a population of feasible and infeasible solutions in order to react on changing objectives faster. Combining IDEA with ARIMA leads to a more efficient evolutionary algorithm that reacts faster to the changing objectives which profits from using information coming from the prediction mechanism and remains one time instant ahead of the original algorithm. Preliminary experiments performed on popular benchmark problems confirm that the IDEA-ARIMA outperforms the original IDEA algorithm in many cases.
