From Maximum Entropy to Maximum Entropy Production: A New Approach
Evidence from climate science suggests that a principle of maximum thermodynamic entropy production can be used to make predictions about some physical systems. I discuss the general form of this principle and an inherent problem with it, currently unsolved by theoretical approaches: how to determine which system it should be applied to. I suggest a new way to derive the principle from statisti...
متن کاملMaximum entropy distributions on graphs
Inspired by the problem of sensory coding in neuroscience, we study the maximum entropy distribution on weighted graphs with a given expected degree sequence. This distribution on graphs is characterized by independent edge weights parameterized by vertex potentials at each node. Using the general theory of exponential family distributions, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the maximum l...
متن کاملComputing Maximum Entropy Distributions Everywhere
We study the problem of computing the maximum entropy distribution with a specified expectation over a large discrete domain. Maximum entropy distributions arise and have found numerous applications in economics, machine learning and various sub-disciplines of mathematics and computer science. The key computational questions related to maximum entropy distributions are whether they have succinc...
متن کاملProbability Distributions and Maximum Entropy
If we want to assign probabilities to an event, and see no reason for one outcome to occur more often than any other, then the events are assigned equal probabilities. This is called the principle of insufficient reason, or principle of indifference, and goes back to Laplace. If we happen to know (or learn) something about the non-uniformity of the outcomes, how should the assignment of probabi...
متن کاملSuperstatistical distributions from a maximum entropy principle.
We deal with a generalized statistical description of nonequilibrium complex systems based on least biased distributions given some prior information. A maximum entropy principle is introduced that allows for the determination of the distribution of the fluctuating intensive parameter beta of a superstatistical system, given certain constraints on the complex system under consideration. We appl...
