Lagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2005 We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints.

A Comparison of the Maximum Entropy Principle Across Biological Spatial Scales [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 Despite their differences, biological systems at different spatial scales tend to exhibit common organizational patterns. Unfortunately, these commonalities are often hard to grasp due to the highly specialized nature of modern science and the parcelled ...

The Latent Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, 2012 We present an extension to Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle that incorporates latent variables. The principle oflatent maximum entropywe propose is different from both Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle and maximum likelihood estimation, but can yield better estimates in the presence of hidden variables and limited training data.

The Principle of Uncertain Maximum Entropy [PDF]
, 2023 The Principle of Maximum Entropy is a rigorous technique for estimating an unknown distribution given partial information while simultaneously minimizing bias. However, an important requirement for applying the principle is that the available information be provided error-free (Jaynes, 1982).

Bertrand's Paradox and the Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2019 An important suggestion of objective Bayesians is that the maximum entropy principle can replace a principle which is known to get into paradoxical difficulties: the principle of indifference. No one has previously determined whether the maximum entropy principle is better able to solve Bertrand's chord paradox than the principle of indifference.

On an Objective Basis for the Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2015 In this letter, we elaborate on some of the issues raised by a recent paper by Neapolitan and Jiang concerning the maximum entropy (ME) principle and alternative principles for estimating probabilities consistent with known, measured constraint ...

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 It is shown that Onsager’s principle of the least dissipation of energy is equivalent to the maximum entropy production principle. It is known that solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation make extrema of entropy production.

Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 Spontaneous transitions of an isolated system from one macroscopic state to another (relaxation processes) are accompanied by a change of entropy. Following Jaynes’ MaxEnt formalism, it is shown that practically all the possible microscopic developments ...

Axiomatic derivation of the principle of maximum entropy and the principle of minimum cross-entropy [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1980 Jaynes's principle of maximum entropy and Kullbacks principle of minimum cross-entropy (minimum directed divergence) are shown to be uniquely correct methods for inductive inference when new information is given in the form of expected values. Previous justifications use intuitive arguments and rely on the properties of entropy and cross-entropy as ...
