A BAYESIAN ALTERNATIVE TO GENERALIZED CROSS ENTROPY SOLUTIONS FOR UNDERDETERMINED ECONOMETRIC MODELS [PDF]
This paper presents a Bayesian alternative to Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) and Generalized Cross Entropy (GCE) methods for deriving solutions to econometric models represented by underdetermined systems of equations. For certain types of econometric

Revisiting the Gaia hypothesis: Maximum Entropy, Kauffman's 'Fourth Law' and physiosemeiosis [PDF]
Recently, Kleidon suggested a restatement of the Gaia hypothesis based on Maximum Entropy approaches to the Earth system. Refuting conceptions of Gaia as a homeostatic system, Gaia is seen as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic system which continuously ...

Maximum Entropy, Parallel Computations and Lotteries
, 1998 By picking unpopular sets of numbers in a lottery, it is possible to increase one’s expected winnings. We have used the Maximum Entropy method to estimate the probability of each of the 14 million tickets being chosen by players in the UK National ...

Maximum Entropy and Maximum Entropy Production in Macroecology
, 2011 The Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology (METE), developed by John Harte, presents an entirely new method of making inferences in ecology. The method is based on the established mathematical procedure of Maximum Information Entropy (MaxEnt), developed by Edwin T. Jaynes, and is used to derive a range of important relationships in macroecology. The Maximum

Life and Evolution in Terms of Maximum Entropy Production Principle
, 2020 Maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) has been formulated in the mid-twentieth century, and today it has acquired the status of an important principle of science, which is extremely effective in considering various non-equilibrium problems. In this study, for the first time, definition of life is based on an easily measurable physical quantity ...

The Lucky Engine: Probabilistic Emergence and Persistence of Near-Maximum Dissipation States
EntropyA paradigm, wherein a nonequilibrium system has multiple modes of transport that can act in combination, permits the resolution of several difficulties with the notion of maximum entropy production (MaxEP or MEP). First, physical constraints, such as the

Information Entropy Production of Spatio-Temporal Maximum Entropy Distributions
, 2015 Spiking activity from populations of neurons display causal interactions and memory effects. Therefore, they are expected to show some degree of irreversibility in time. Motivated by the spike train statistics, in this paper we build a framework to quantify the degree of irreversibility of any maximum entropy distribution.
