Entire Relaxation Path for Maximum Entropy Problems
We discuss and analyze the problem of finding a distribution that minimizes the relative entropy to a prior distribution while satisfying max-norm constraints with respect to an observed distribution. This setting generalizes the classical maximum entropy problems as it relaxes the standard constraints on the observed values. We tackle the problem by introducing a re-parametrization in which th...
متن کاملOn Solutions to Multivariate Maximum -entropy Problems
Entropy has been widely employed as an optimization function for problems in computer vision and pattern recognition. To gain insight into such methods it is important to characterize the behavior of the maximum-entropy probability distributions that result from the entropy optimization. The aim of this paper is to establish properties of multivariate distributions maximizing entropy for a gene...
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 کاملTsallis Maximum Entropy Lorenz Curves
In this paper, at first we derive a family of maximum Tsallis entropy distributions under optional side conditions on the mean income and the Gini index. Furthermore, corresponding with these distributions a family of Lorenz curves compatible with the optional side conditions is generated. Meanwhile, we show that our results reduce to Shannon entropy as $beta$ tends to one. Finally, by using ac...
متن کاملCopulas with maximum entropy
We shall find a multi-dimensional checkerboard copula of maximum entropy that matches an observed set of grade correlation coefficients. This problem is formulated as the maximization of a concave function on a convex polytope. Under mild constraint qualifications we show that a unique solution exists in the core of the feasible region. The theory of Fenchel duality is used to reformulate the p...
