Calculating the Prior Probability Distribution for a Causal Network Using Maximum Entropy: Alternative Approaches
Some problems occurring in Expert Systems can be resolved by employing a causal (Bayesian) network and methodologies exist for this purpose. These require data in a specific form and make assumptions about the independence relationships involved. Methodologies using Maximum Entropy (ME) are free from these conditions and have the potential to be used in a wider context including systems consist...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.

متن کاملCalculating Maximum-Entropy Probability densities for Belief Functions
A common procedure for selecting a particular density from a given class of densities is to choose one with maximum entropy. The problem addressed here is this. Let S be a nite set and let B be a belief function on 2 . Then B induces a density on 2 , which in turn induces a host of densities on S. Provide an algorithm for choosing from this host of densities one with maximum entropy.
متن کاملMaximum Entropy and Maximum Probability
Sanov’s Theorem and the Conditional Limit Theorem (CoLT) are established for a multicolor Pólya Eggenberger urn sampling scheme, giving the Pólya divergence and the Pólya extension to the Maximum Relative Entropy (MaxEnt) method. Pólya MaxEnt includes the standard MaxEnt as a special case. The universality of standard MaxEnt advocated by an axiomatic approach to inference for inverse problems i...
