On Maximum Entropy and Inference
Maximum entropy is a powerful concept that entails a sharp separation between relevant and irrelevant variables. It is typically invoked in inference, once an assumption is made on what the relevant variables are, in order to estimate a model from data, that affords predictions on all other (dependent) variables. Conversely, maximum entropy can be invoked to retrieve the relevant variables (suf...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of Maximum Entropy Problems
We show that a simple geometric result suffices to derive the form of the optimal solution in a large class of finiteand infinite-dimensional maximum entropy problems concerning probability distributions, spectral densities, and covariance matrices. These include Burg’s spectral estimation method and Dempster’s covariance completion, as well as various recent generalizations of the above. We th...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy, Time Series and Statistical Inference
A brief discussion is given of the traditional version of the Maximum Entropy Method, including a review of some of the criticism that has been made in regard to its use in statistical inference. Motivated by these questions, a modified version of the method is then proposed and applied to an example in order to demonstrate its use with a given time series.
متن کاملa synchronic and diachronic approach to the change route of address terms in the two recent centuries of persian language
terms of address as an important linguistics items provide valuable information about the interlocutors, their relationship and their circumstances. this study was done to investigate the change route of persian address terms in the two recent centuries including three historical periods of qajar, pahlavi and after the islamic revolution. data were extracted from a corpus consisting 24 novels w...
15 صفحه اولUncertain Reasoning Using Maximum Entropy Inference
The use of maximum entropy infer ence in reasoning with uncertain informa tion is commonly justified by an information-theoretic argument. This paper discusses a possible objection to this information-theoretic justification and shows how it can be met. I then compare max imum entropy inference with certain other currently popular methods for uncertain rea soning. In making such a compariso...
