In this paper, at first we derive a family of maximum Tsallis entropy distributions under optional side conditions on the mean income and the Gini index. Furthermore, corresponding with these distributions a family of Lorenz curves compatible with the optional side conditions is generated. Meanwhile, we show that our results reduce to Shannon entropy as $beta$ tends to one. Finally, by using ac...

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.

market volatility remains one of the most important research fields in agricultural economics.interestingly, price transmission mechanism seems to be symmetric in sectors that are likely to be of high political power.this paper analyzes the price transmission effects from international markets to domestic markets for corn in iran. for this purpose, we estimate the elasticity of substitution bet...

Is Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) a physical principle? In this paper I tentatively suggest it is not, on the basis that MEP is equivalent to Jaynes’ Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) inference algorithm that passively translates physical assumptions into macroscopic predictions, as applied to non-equilibrium systems. MaxEnt itself has no physical content; disagreement between MaxEnt predictions and e...

This paper revisits the problem of traffic generation from first principles: rather than following up on previous work of providing an explanatory model for why observed traffic matrices look the way they do, this paper generates TM instances subject to user specified spatial and temporal constraints. The authors hereby rely on the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) framework. Maximum Entropy is a powerf...
