The Maximum Entropy Method for Lifetime Distributions
An approach to produce a model for the data generating distribution is the well-known maximum entropy method. In this approach, the partial knowledge about the data generating distribution is formulated in terms of a set of information constraints, usually moment constraints, and the inference is based on the model that maximizes Shannon’s entropy under these constraints. In this paper we inves...
متن کاملA maximum entropy framework for nonexponential distributions.
Probability distributions having power-law tails are observed in a broad range of social, economic, and biological systems. We describe here a potentially useful common framework. We derive distribution functions for situations in which a "joiner particle" k pays some form of price to enter a community of size , where costs are subject to economies of scale. Maximizing the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shann...
متن کاملPrediction of Droplet Size and Velocity Distribution in Spray Using Maximum Entropy Method
The prediction of droplets diameter and velocity distribution in a spray is so difficult since its process and mechanism is not completely known and depends too many parameters. The early stage of the atomization process (Primary Breakup) is clearly deterministic, whereas the final stage of spray formation (Secondary Breakup) is random and stochastic. In the second region, which deals with the ...
متن کاملMaximum entropy distributions on graphs
Inspired by the problem of sensory coding in neuroscience, we study the maximum entropy distribution on weighted graphs with a given expected degree sequence. This distribution on graphs is characterized by independent edge weights parameterized by vertex potentials at each node. Using the general theory of exponential family distributions, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the maximum l...
متن کاملComputing Maximum Entropy Distributions Everywhere
We study the problem of computing the maximum entropy distribution with a specified expectation over a large discrete domain. Maximum entropy distributions arise and have found numerous applications in economics, machine learning and various sub-disciplines of mathematics and computer science. The key computational questions related to maximum entropy distributions are whether they have succinc...
