Parameters

context RareEventProbabilityEstimationContext: The context in which the rare event probability must be estimated.
rarity Double: The rarity applied by the Cross-Entropy method.
sampleSize Int32: The size of the samples drawn during the sampling step of the Cross-Entropy method.
estimationSampleSize Int32: The size of the sample drawn to estimate the rare event probability.

Return Value

RareEventProbabilityEstimationResults
The results of the Cross-Entropy estimator.
