Maximum Entropy and the Glasses You are Looking Through

چکیده
We give an interpretation of the Maxi mum Entropy (MaxEnt) Principle in game theoretic terms. Based on this interpretation, we make a formal distinction between differ ent ways of applying Maximum Entropy dis tributions. MaxEnt has frequently been crit icized on the grounds that it leads to highly representation dependent results. Our dis tinction allows us to avoid this problem in many cases.

Each researcher while studying about a specific issue is influenced by certain philosophical foundations for the research process. These foundations are such as glasses that in fact, researcher looks at research topic from behind it. In scientific communities, these foundations are introduced with the term of «paradigm» which indicates researcher›s approach about issues such as ontological, epi...
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 کاملA Note on the Bivariate Maximum Entropy Modeling
Let X=(X1 ,X2 ) be a continuous random vector. Under the assumption that the marginal distributions of X1 and X2 are given, we develop models for vector X when there is partial information about the dependence structure between X1 and X2. The models which are obtained based on well-known Principle of Maximum Entropy are called the maximum entropy (ME) mo...
متن کاملChunking with Maximum Entropy Models
Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models (Jaynes, 1957) are exponential models that implement the intuition that if there is no evidence to favour one alternative solution above another, both alternatives should be equally likely. In order to accomplish this, as much information as possible about the process you want to model must be collected. This information consists of frequencies of events relevant...
