Semiparametric Cross Entropy for rare-event simulation [PDF]
The Cross Entropy method is a well-known adaptive importance sampling method for rare-event probability estimation, which requires estimating an optimal importance sampling density within a parametric class.

A statistical method for measuring the Galactic potential and testing gravity with cold tidal streams [PDF]
We introduce the Minimum Entropy Method, a simple statistical technique for constraining the Milky Way gravitational potential and simultaneously testing different gravity theories directly from 6D phase-space surveys and without adopting dynamical ...

Entropy‐based benchmarking methods [PDF]
This paper argues that benchmarking of sign‐volatile time series has to be based on the principle of movement and sign preservation, which requires the benchmarked series to reproduce both the short‐term movements and signs of the original series. It is shown that the widely used variants of Denton method and the Causey‐Trager growth rate preservation ...

This study proposed a pressure driven entropy method (PDEM) that determines a priority order of pressure gauge locations, which enables the impact of abnormal condition (e.g., pipe failures) to be quantitatively identified in water distribution networks (

Euclidean methods and the entropy function [PDF]
AbstractThe attractor mechanism implies that the supersymmetric black hole near horizon solution is defined only in terms of the conserved charges and is therefore independent of asymptotic moduli. Starting only with the near horizon geometry, Sen's entropy functional formalism computes the entropy of an extreme black hole by means of a Legendre ...
