Generalized maximum entropy estimation
We consider the problem of estimating a probability distribution that maximizes the entropy while satisfying a finite number of moment constraints, possibly corrupted by noise. Based on duality of convex programming, we present a novel approximation scheme using a smoothed fast gradient method that is equipped with explicit bounds on the approximation error. We further demonstrate how the prese...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy and Spectral Estimation
The temperature of a gas corresponds to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas. What can we say about the distribution of velocities in the gas at a given temperature? We know from physics that this distribution is the maximum entropy distribution under the temperature constraint, otherwise known as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The maximum entropy distribution corresponds...
متن کاملEstimation Bias in Maximum Entropy Models
Maximum entropy models have become popular statistical models in neuroscience and other areas in biology and can be useful tools for obtaining estimates of mutual information in biological systems. However, maximum entropy models fit to small data sets can be subject to sampling bias; i.e., the true entropy of the data can be severely underestimated. Here, we study the sampling properties of es...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Distribution Estimation with Generalized Regularization
We present a unified and complete account of maximum entropy distribution estimation subject to constraints represented by convex potential functions or, alternatively, by convex regularization. We provide fully general performance guarantees and an algorithm with a complete convergence proof. As special cases, we can easily derive performance guarantees for many known regularization types, inc...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Density Estimation with Incomplete Data
We propose a natural generalization of Regularized Maximum Entropy Density Estimation (maxent) to handle input data with unknown values. While standard approaches to handling missing data usually involve estimating the actual unknown values, then using the estimated, complete data as input, our method avoids the two-step process and handles unknown values directly in the maximum entropy formula...
