Abstract: We investigate the use of the new Cross Entropy method as a tool for exploratory data analysis. We
show how this method can be used to perform linear projections such as principal component analysis, exploratory
projection pursuit and canonical correlation analysis. We further go on to show how topology preserving mappings
can be created usin the cross entropy method. We also show how the cross entropy method can be used to train
deep architecture nets which are one of the main current research directions for creating true artificial intelligence.
Finally we show how the cross entropy method can be used to optimize parameters for latent variable models.
Keywords: Cross entropy, Linear projections, Topographic mapping.

Abstract: By undertaking a cointegration analysis with annual data over the period 1985~2005 in China, the estimation results show that there is cointegration relationship between electrical energy consumption and economic growth taking into account industry structure changes and technical efficiency. The model shows that three explanatory variables, the GDP per capita, heavy industry share and efficiency improvement are the crucial factors which influence the electric energy consumption. The three explanatory variables and the actual electrical energy consumption are input into a support vector machine(SVM), a Gaussian radial basis function is taken as the kernel function and electrical energy consumptions from 1994~2006 are forecasted. The forecast results prove that the multivariable SVM is valid in forecasting electrical energy consumption in China.
