Maximum Entropy Fundamentals

open access: yesEntropy, 2001
: In its modern formulation, the Maximum Entropy Principle was promoted by E.T. Jaynes, starting in the mid-fifties. The principle dictates that one should look for a distribution, consistent with available information, which maximizes the entropy ...

A Note of Caution on Maximizing Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
The Principle of Maximum Entropy is often used to update probabilities due to evidence instead of performing Bayesian updating using Bayes’ Theorem, and its use often has efficacious results.

Relativistic Equilibrium Distribution by Relative Entropy Maximization

open access: yes, 2009
The equilibrium state of a relativistic gas has been calculated based on the maximum entropy principle. Though the relativistic equilibrium state was long believed to be the Juttner distribution, a number of papers have been published in recent years ...

Enhanced reconstruction of weighted networks from strengths and degrees

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Network topology plays a key role in many phenomena, from the spreading of diseases to that of financial crises. Whenever the whole structure of a network is unknown, one must resort to reconstruction methods that identify the least biased ensemble of ...

Entropy Production and Thermal Conductivity of A Dilute Gas

open access: yes, 2011
It is known that the thermal conductivity of a dilute gas can be derived by using kinetic theory. We present here a new derivation by starting with two known entropy production principles: the steepest entropy ascent (SEA) principle and the maximum ...

Fact-Checking Ziegler’s Maximum Entropy Production Principle beyond the Linear Regime and towards Steady States

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
We challenge claims that the principle of maximum entropy production produces physical phenomenological relations between conjugate currents and forces, even beyond the linear regime, and that currents in networks arrange themselves to maximize entropy ...

Maximum Geometric Quantum Entropy

open access: yesEntropy
Any given density matrix can be represented as an infinite number of ensembles of pure states. This leads to the natural question of how to uniquely select one out of the many, apparently equally-suitable, possibilities.

Generalized Beta Distribution of the Second Kind for Flood Frequency Analysis

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Estimation of flood magnitude for a given recurrence interval T (T-year flood) at a specific location is needed for design of hydraulic and civil infrastructure facilities.
