Identifying anthropogenic and natural causes of wildfires by maximum entropy method-based ignition susceptibility distribution models

Zonation of Flood Susceptibility and Determining the Factors Affecting it Using the Maximum Entropy Method

Karaj dam basin in Alborz province is prone to destructive floods given to its special topographic and anthropogenic conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine the areas with flood susceptibility potential and prioritize the factors affecting it using the maximum entropy method. 14 factors affecting flood potential selection and linear testing Factors were analyzed by variance inflat...

Determination 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.

Modeling of Artemisia sieberi Besser Habitat Distribution Using Maximum Entropy Method in Desert Rangelands

Predictive modeling of habitat distribution of range plant species and identification of their potential habitats play important roles in the restoration of disturbed rangelands. This study aimed to predict the geographical distribution of Artemisia sieberi and find the influential variables in the distribution of A. sieberi in the desert rangelands of central Iran. Maps of environmental variab...

Entropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards

In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
