The Cross-Entropy Method for Network Reliability Estimation

Consider a network of unreliable links, modelling for example a communication network. Estimating the reliability of the network - expressed as the probability that certain nodes in the network are connected - is a computationally difficult task. In this paper we study how the Cross-Entropy method c...
