The Cross-Entropy Method: A Unified Approach to Combinatorial Optimization, Monte-Carlo Simulation and Machine Learning (Information Science and Statistics) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cross-entropy method is an exciting new technique for rare event simulation and stochastic optimization.
The book unfortunately is a 99% copy and paste of the public available tutorials and papers. I bought the book before looking in the internet, so do not do the same mistake by me.
Furthermore it is quite disappointing if every chapter is written in a highly redundant manner(which follows automatically if every chapter is a paper on its own).
The topic and method is great but the book doesnt add much what the papers wont tell.
