The Maximum Entropy Principle For Compositional Data
BMC Bioinformatics, 2022 Abstract In this work, we provide a general method for inferring the stochastic behavior of compositional systems. Our approach is guided by the principle of maximum entropy, a data-driven modeling technique. In particular, we show that our method can accurately capture stochastic, inter-species relationships with minimal model ...

The Principle of Uncertain Maximum Entropy
, 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 propositions that we can express. The three norms are sometimes explicated by appealing to the maximum entropy

Maximum entropy principle based estimation of performance distribution in queueing theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In related research on queuing systems, in order to determine the system state, there is a widespread practice to assume that the system is stable and that distributions of the customer arrival ratio and service ratio are known information. In this study,

A review on Thermodynamics in Water Cycle with Emphasizing on Entropy and Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آب و فاضلاب, 2022 Hydrological cycle is directed into thermodynamic non-equilibrium state and maximum entropy production through thermodynamic processes. Therefore, it is possible to understand and describe hydrological cycle through computation of entropy production rate

Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology: A Reply to Harte
Entropy, 2018 In a paper published in this journal, I addressed the following problem: under which conditions will two scientists, observing the same system and sharing the same initial information, reach the same probabilistic description upon the application of the ...

The Principle of Maximum Entropy and the Distribution of Mass in Galaxies
Universe, 2022 We do not have a final answer to the question of why galaxies choose a particular internal mass distribution. Here we examine whether the distribution is set by thermodynamic equilibrium (TE).

Entropy: From Thermodynamics to Hydrology
Entropy, 2014 Some known results from statistical thermophysics as well as from hydrology are revisited from a different perspective trying: (a) to unify the notion of entropy in thermodynamic and statistical/stochastic approaches of complex hydrological systems and ...

Pricing Interval European Option with the Principle of Maximum Entropy
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.
