Maximum Relative Entropy Updating and the Value of Learning

We examine the possibility of justifying the principle of maximum relative entropy (MRE) considered as an updating rule by looking at the value of learning theorem established in classical decision theory. This theorem captures an intuitive requirement for learning: learning should lead to new degrees of belief that are expected to be helpful and never harmful in making decisions. We call this ...

Tsallis Maximum Entropy Lorenz Curves

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...

Maximum 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...

Determination 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.

Updating during reading comprehension: why causality matters.

The present set of 7 experiments systematically examined the effectiveness of adding causal explanations to simple refutations in reducing or eliminating the impact of outdated information on subsequent comprehension. The addition of a single causal-explanation sentence to a refutation was sufficient to eliminate any measurable disruption in comprehension caused by the outdated information (Exp...
