Updating and Estimating a Social Accounting Matrix Using Cross Entropy Methods
The problem in estimating a social accounting matrix (SAM) for a recent year is to find an efficient and cost-effective way to incorporate and reconcile information from a variety of sources, including data from prior years. Based on information theory, the paper presents a flexible “cross entropy” (CE) approach to estimating a consistent SAM starting from inconsistent data estimated with error...
متن کاملUpdating ACO Pheromones Using Stochastic Gradient Ascent and Cross-Entropy Methods
In this paper we introduce two systematic approaches, based on the stochastic gradient ascent algorithm and the cross-entropy method, for deriving the pheromone update rules in the Ant colony optimization metaheuristic. We discuss the relationships between the two methods as well as connections to the update rules previously proposed in the literature.

متن کاملEstimating Buffer Overflows in Three Stages Using Cross-entropy
In this paper we propose a fast adaptive Importance Sampling method for the efficient simulation of buffer overffow probabilities in queueing networks. The method comprises three stages. First we estimate the minimum Cross-Entropy tilting parameter for a small buffer level; next, we use this as a starting value for the estimation of the optimal tilting parameter for the actual (large) buffer le...
متن کاملGeneralized Cross-Entropy Methods
The cross-entropy and minimum cross-entropy methods are well-known Monte Carlo simulation techniques for rare-event probability estimation and optimization. In this paper we investigate how these methods can be extended to provide a general non-parametric cross-entropy framework based on φ-divergence distance measures. We show how the χ distance in particular yields a viable alternative to Kull...
