#Maximum entropy series#

In this blog post, I would like to discuss entropy maximization and a couple of maximum entropy distributions. This book is a collection of introductory, interdisciplinary articles and lectures covering the fundamentals of the maximum entropy approach, a powerful new.

#Maximum entropy series#

unpredictable) time series whose covariance function coincides with the known values (Burg 1975). It is based on choosing the spectrum that corresponds to the most random (i.e.

Given the second law of thermodynamics (principle of increase of entropy), isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the state with maximum entropy, maximum entropy distributions become the most natural distributions under certain constrains. The maximum entropy principle (Ma圎nt) states that the most appropriate distribution to model a given set of data is the one with highest entropy among all. Maximum entropy spectral analysis is a high-resolution spectral estimator that has been widely used in geosciences.

These prior data serves as the constrains to the probability distribution. The principle of maximum entropy states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge is the one with largest entropy, in the context of precisely stated prior data (such as a proposition that expresses testable information). The principle of maximum entropy is a method for assigning values to probability distributions on the basis of partial information.
