A Kullback-Leibler View of Maximum Entropy and Maximum Log-Probability Methods
Entropy methods enable a convenient general approach to providing a probability distribution with partial information. The minimum cross-entropy principle selects the distribution that minimizes the Kullback–Leibler divergence subject to the given constraints. This general principle encompasses a wide variety of distributions, and generalizes other methods that have been proposed independently....
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
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.
متن کاملMaximum Entropy and Maximum Probability
Sanov’s Theorem and the Conditional Limit Theorem (CoLT) are established for a multicolor Pólya Eggenberger urn sampling scheme, giving the Pólya divergence and the Pólya extension to the Maximum Relative Entropy (MaxEnt) method. Pólya MaxEnt includes the standard MaxEnt as a special case. The universality of standard MaxEnt advocated by an axiomatic approach to inference for inverse problems i...
متن کاملMaximum Probability and Maximum Entropy methods: Bayesian interpretation
(Jaynes’) Method of (Shannon-Kullback’s) Relative Entropy Maximization (REM or MaxEnt) can be at least in the discrete case according to the Maximum Probability Theorem (MPT) viewed as an asymptotic instance of the Maximum Probability method (MaxProb). A simple bayesian interpretation of MaxProb is given here. MPT carries the interpretation over into REM.
