Maximum Entropy Analysis of Disordered Droplet Patterns

Maximum Entropy Data Analysis

Maximum entropy spectral analysis

A review of the maximum entropy spectral analysis (MESA) method for time series is presented. Then, empirical evidence based on maximum entropy spectra of real seismic data is shown to suggest that M = 2N/ ln 2N is a reasonable a priori choice of the operator length M for discrete time series of length N . Various data examples support this conclusion.

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.

Maximum Entropy Model for Melodic Patterns

We introduce a model for music generation where melodies are seen as a network of interacting notes. Starting from the principle of maximum entropy we assign to this network a probability distribution, which is learned from an existing musical corpus. We use this model to generate novel musical sequences that mimic the style of the corpus. Our main result is that this model can reproduce high-o...

Maximum Entropy Analysis - a Companion

This is a companion to Robert Niven’s block 4, 2007lectures. I point to an alternative way of deriving the MaxEnt and the MinXEnt-distributions which is claimed to be more fundamental as well as technically a good deal simpler than the standard method via Lagrange multipliers (sic, still what you find in many (any ?) textbook you may pick up in this field). I hope you, the students in Robert’s ...
