Convenient Interface to Inverse Ising (ConIII): A Python package for solving maximum entropy models
نویسندگان
چکیده
ConIII (pronounced CON-ee) is an open-source Python project providing a simple interface to solving maximum entropy models, with a focus on the Ising model. We describe the maximum entropy problem and give an overview of the algorithms that are implemented as part of ConIII (https://github.com/bcdaniels/coniii) including Monte Carlo histogram, pseudolikelihood, minimum probability flow, a regularized mean field method, and a cluster expansion method. We briefly explain how one should approach and validate maxent models from the perspective of model selection. Our goal is to make a variety of maximum entropy techniques accessible to those unfamiliar with the techniques and accelerate workflow for users.

Stochastic simulations of biological systems vary widely in scope from reaction modules, to single cells, to cell colonies. While the same techniques for sampling the stochastic equations governing cellular processes apply to all these systems, the setup of the simulation volume and initial state for the simulations differ significantly.

متن کاملLagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle
We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints. Examples are presented using the Ising and Potts models of a ferromagnetic material.
