Maximum entropy and conditional probability
It is well-known that maximum entropy distributions, subject to appropriate moment constraints, arise in physics and mathematics. In an attempt to find a physical reason for the appearance of maximum entropy distributions, the following theorem is offered. The conditional distribution of X, given the empirical observation (1 /n)X:, ,/I ( X,) = (Y, where X, , X2, . are independent identically di...
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 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...
متن کاملProbability Distributions and Maximum Entropy
If we want to assign probabilities to an event, and see no reason for one outcome to occur more often than any other, then the events are assigned equal probabilities. This is called the principle of insufficient reason, or principle of indifference, and goes back to Laplace. If we happen to know (or learn) something about the non-uniformity of the outcomes, how should the assignment of probabi...
