Maximum entropy methods for generating simulated rainfall
We desire to generate monthly rainfall totals for a particular location in such a way that the statistics for the simulated data match the statistics for the observed data. We are especially interested in the accumulated rainfall totals over several months. We propose two different ways to construct a joint rainfall probability distribution that matches the observed grade correlation coefficien...
متن کاملEmpirical Maximum Entropy Methods
A method, which we suggest to call the Empirical Maximum Entropy method, is implicitly present at Maximum Entropy Empirical Likelihood method, as its special, non-parametric case. From this vantage point the entropy-based empirical approach to estimation is surveyed.
متن کاملMESA: Maximum Entropy by Simulated Annealing
Probabilistic reasoning systems combine dif ferent probabilistic rules and probabilistic facts to arrive at the desired probability val ues of consequences. In this paper we de scribe the MESA-algorithm (Maximum En tropy by Simulated Annealing) that derives a joint distribution of variables or propositions. It takes into account the reliability of proba bility values and can resolve confli...
متن کاملMaximum entropy methods for biological sequence modeling
Many of the same modeling methods used in natural languages, speci cally Markov models and HMM's, have also been applied to biological sequence analysis. In recent years, natural language models have been improved upon by using maximum entropy methods which allow information based upon the entire history of a sequence to be considered. This is in contrast to the Markov models, whose predictions...
متن کاملTowards algebraic methods for maximum entropy estimation
We show that various formulations (e.g., dual and Kullback-Csiszar iterations) of estimation of maximum entropy (ME) models can be transformed to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables for which one can use celebrated Gröbner bases methods. Posing of ME estimation as solving polynomial equations is possible, in the cases where feature functions (sufficient statistic) that ...
