As a basis for information recovery in open dynamic microeconomic systems, we emphasize the connection between adaptive intelligent behavior, causal entropy maximization and self-organized equilibrium seeking behavior. This entropy-based causal adaptive behavior framework permits the use of information-theoretic methods as a solution basis for the resulting pure and stochastic inverse economic-...

We link the weighted maximum entropy and the optimization of the expected Fβmeasure, by viewing them in the framework of a general common multi-criteria optimization problem. As a result, each solution of the expected Fβ-measure maximization can be realized as a weighted maximum likelihood solution a well understood and behaved problem. The specific structure of maximum entropy models allows us...

Lack of knowledge of the prior distribution in classification problems that operate on small data sets may make the application of Bayes’ rule questionable. Uniform or arbitrary priors may provide classification answers that, even in simple examples, may end up contradicting our common sense about the problem. Entropic priors (EPs), via application of the maximum entropy (ME) principle, seem to...

This paper presents a solution for persistent monitoring of real-world stochastic phenomena, where the underlying covariance structure changes sharply across time, using a small number of mobile robot sensors. We propose an adaptive solution for the problem where stochastic real-world dynamics are modeled as a Gaussian Process (GP). The belief on the underlying covariance structure is learned f...

Diffusive moment equations with an arbitrary number of moments are formally derived from the semiconductor Boltzmann equation employing a moment method and a Chapman-Enskog expansion. The moment equations are closed by employing a generalized Fermi-Dirac distribution function obtained from entropy maximization. The current densities allow for a drift-diffusion-type formulation or a “symmetrized...

A long-standing issue in the Bayesian statistical approach to the phase problem in X-ray crystallography is to solve an entropy maxi-mization subproblem eeciently in every iteration of phase estimation. The entropy maximization problem is a semi-innnite convex program and can be solved in a nite dual space by using a standard Newton's method. However, the Newton's method is too expensive for th...

Image contrast maximization and entropy minimization are two commonly used techniques for ISAR image autofocusing. When the signal phase history due to the target radial motion has to be approximated with high order polynomial models, classic optimization techniques fail when attempting to either maximize the image contrast or minimize the image entropy. In this paper a solution of this problem...

The population balance equation (PBE) is an integro-partial differential equation, which admits analytical solutions only for a few simple cases. We propose for the first time a novel converging sequence of continuous approximations to the number concentration function as a solution to the PBE. The uniqueness and convergence of such a sequence are assured by being an optimal solution to a const...

The Boltzmann–Gibbs and Tsallis entropies are essential concepts in statistical physics, which have found multiple applications in many engineering and science areas. In particular, we focus our interest on their applications to image processing through information theory. We present in this article a novel numeric method to calculate the Tsallis entropic index q characteristic to a given image...
