The maximum entropy method for data analysis (reply)

Maximum power entropy method for ecological data analysis

In ecology predictive models of the geographical distribution of certain species are widely used to capture the spatial diversity. Recently a method of Maxent based on Gibbs distribution is frequently employed to have reasonable accuracy of a target distribution of species at a site using environmental features such as temperature, precipitation, elevation and so on. It requires only presence d...

The Maximum Entropy Method for Lifetime Distributions

An approach to produce a model for the data generating distribution is the well-known maximum entropy method. In this approach, the partial knowledge about the data generating distribution is formulated in terms of a set of information constraints, usually moment constraints, and the inference is based on the model that maximizes Shannon’s entropy under these constraints. In this paper we inves...

Spectral moment matching in the maximum entropy spectral analysis method

The formula for the spectral moments is expanded in a series consisting of autocorrelation terms. By using the autocorrelation extrapolation inherent in the maximum entropy method (MEM) for spectral analysis, it is found that good estimates of the moments can be found from a very low order autoregressive model. The motivation for this investigation came from results obtained during spectral ana...
