This paper proposes a method of estimating and simulating a maximum entropy distribution given moment conditions based on MonteCarlo approach. The method provides an simple alternative to conventional calculation methods of maximum entropy densities which involve complex numerical integration and are subject to occasional failure. We first show that maximum entropy density on a random sample co...

An image segmentation technique based on fuzzy entropy is applied for MR brain images to detect a brain tumor is presented in this paper. The proposed method performs image segmentation based on adaptive thresholding of the input MR images. The image is classified into two membership functions, whose member functions of the fuzzy region are Z-function and S-function. The optimal parameters of t...

Frequency estimation of a sinusoid in white noise using maximum entropy power spectral estimation has been shown to be very sensitive to initial sinusoidal phase. This paper presents use of wavelet transform to find an analytic signal for frequency estimation using maximum entropy method (MEM) and compared the results with frequency estimation using analytic signal by Hilbert transform method a...

2-D and axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Reiman-Roe solver with different limiters for second-order accurate schemes. The results were obtained for supersonic viscous flows over semi-infinite axisymmetric and 2-D bodies. The free stream Mach numbers were 7.78 and 16.34. The stability of Roe method with different limiters and entropy conditions were considered. The results s...

The purpose of this study is to define the concepts of Tsallis entropy and conditional Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions and to obtain some results concerning this kind entropy. We show that the Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions has the subadditivity and concavity properties. We study this information measure under the refinement and zero mode subset relations. We check the chain rules for ...

In this paper, we introduce a goodness of fit test for expo- nentiality based on Lin-Wong divergence measure. In order to estimate the divergence, we use a method similar to Vasicek’s method for estimat- ing the Shannon entropy. The critical values and the powers of the test are computed by Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the proposed test are competitive with other tests of exponentia...
