Remarks on the Maximum Entropy Principle with Application to the Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 In the first part of the paper we work out the consequences of the fact that Jaynes’ Maximum Entropy Principle, when translated in mathematical terms, is a constrained extremum problem for an entropy function H ( p ) expressing the uncertainty ...

Pricing Interval European Option with the Principle of Maximum Entropy [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 This paper develops the interval maximum entropy model for the interval European option valuation by estimating an underlying asset distribution. The refined solution for the model is obtained by the Lagrange multiplier.

On the Entropy and the Maximum Entropy Principle of Uncertain Variables
Entropy, 2023 A new variance formula is developed using the generalized inverse of an increasing function. Based on the variance formula, a new entropy formula for any uncertain variable is provided.

Causal versions of maximum entropy and principle of insufficient reason [PDF]
Journal of Causal Inference, 2021 The principle of insufficient reason (PIR) assigns equal probabilities to each alternative of a random experiment whenever there is no reason to prefer one over the other.

Confidence Interval Estimation for Precipitation Quantiles Based on Principle of Maximum Entropy [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 The principle of maximum entropy (POME) has been used for a variety of applications in hydrology, however it has not been used in confidence interval estimation.

Microcanonical Origin of the Maximum Entropy Principle for Open Systems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2012 The canonical ensemble describes an open system in equilibrium with a heat bath of fixed temperature. The probability distribution of such a system, the Boltzmann distribution, is derived from the uniform probability distribution of the closed universe ...

The Maximum Entropy principle and the nature of fractals [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998 We apply the Principle of Maximum Entropy to the study of a general class of deterministic fractal sets. The scaling laws peculiar to these objects are accounted for by means of a constraint concerning the average content of information in those patterns.

A Story and a Recommendation about the Principle of Maximum Entropy Production [PDF]
Entropy, 2009 The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is the subject of considerable academic study, but has yet to become remarkable for its practical applications.

Statistical equilibrium of tetrahedra from maximum entropy principle [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 Discrete formulations of (quantum) gravity in four spacetime dimensions build space out of tetrahedra. We investigate a statistical mechanical system of tetrahedra from a many-body point of view based on non-local, combinatorial gluing constraints that ...
