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.

Utility Function from Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2006 Recently we used the maximum entropy principle for finding the price density in a multi agent insurance market. The result is similar to what the Buhlmann had obtained by maximizing the utility function.

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]
Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory,, 2003 We present an extension of Jaynes' maximum entropy principle to handle latent variables. We use an EM algorithm that incorporates nested iterative scaling to approximately calculate maximum entropy solutions for this principle, and give a proof of its convergence.

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).

Objective Bayesianism and the Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2013 Objective Bayesian epistemology invokes three norms: the strengths of our beliefs should be probabilities; they should be calibrated to our evidence of physical probabilities; and they should otherwise equivocate sufficiently between the basic ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
