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.

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 of latent maximum entropy we propose is different from both Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle and maximum likelihood estimation, but can yield ...

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 Latent Maximum Entropy Principle [PDF]
Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory,, 2002 We present an extension of Jaynes\u27 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

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.

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 ...

Entropy, 2017 In the last two decades, the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) has been successfully employed to construct macroscopic models able to describe the charge and heat transport in semiconductor devices.

A Hydrodynamic Model for Silicon Nanowires Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle
Entropy, 2016 Silicon nanowires (SiNW) are quasi-one-dimensional structures in which the electrons are spatially confined in two directions, and they are free to move along the axis of the wire.
