In this study, Monte-Carlo simulation samples are generated by the periodic Gibbs sampling algorithm. The probability of a rare event will be estimated from these simulated samples. By using the Naïve Monte Carlo method to estimate the very small probability of rare events, it is necessary to create very large simulation samples that take a long time to initialize. This limitation was significantly improved by combining the cross-entropy method with the Gibbs sampling algorithm to create Monte-Carlo simulation samples. Using the technique of probability measure change in the cross-entropy method, rare events will occur in the simulation sample at a higher frequency according to the new probability measure. The probability of these rare events can be well estimated by returning the results for the initial probability measure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
