On an Objective Basis for the Maximum Entropy Principle
In this letter, we elaborate on some of the issues raised by a recent paper by Neapolitan and Jiang concerning the maximum entropy (ME) principle and alternative principles for estimating probabilities consistent with known, measured constraint information. We argue that the ME solution for the “problematic” example introduced by Neapolitan and Jiang has stronger objective basis, rooted in resu...
متن کاملObjective Bayesianism and the Maximum Entropy Principle
Objective Bayesian epistemology invokes three norms: the strengths of our beliefs should be probabilities, they should be calibrated to our evidence of physical probabilities, and they should otherwise equivocate sufficiently between the basic propositions that we can express. The three norms are sometimes explicated by appealing to the maximum entropy principle, which says that a belief functi...
متن کاملACME: An Associative Classifier Based on Maximum Entropy Principle
Recent studies in classification have proposed ways of exploiting the association rule mining paradigm. These studies have performed extensive experiments to show their techniques to be both efficient and accurate. However, existing studies in this paradigm either do not provide any theoretical justification behind their approaches or assume independence between some parameters. In this work, w...
متن کاملThe Relevance of Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Maximum Information Entropy Principle in Biology
We start this talk posing the question, is there any physical principle that can serve as a selection principle in biology too? One of the first undertakings in this direction, conducted by Prigogine and Wiame [1] noticed correctly that biological processes are irreversible and as such should be described within irreversible thermodynamics. Since irreversible processes are characterized by entr...
متن کاملRemarks on the Maximum Entropy Principle with Application to the Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology
In the first part of the paper we work out the consequences of the fact that Jaynes’ Maximum Entropy Principle, when translated in mathematical terms, is a constrained extremum problem for an entropy function H(p) expressing the uncertainty associated with the probability distribution p. Consequently, if two observers use different independent variables p or g(p), the associated entropy functio...
