Maximum entropy distributions of scale-invariant processes.

چکیده
Organizations of many variables in nature such as soil moisture and topography exhibit patterns with no dominant scales. The maximum entropy (ME) principle is proposed to show how these variables can be statistically described using their scale-invariant properties and geometric mean. The ME principle predicts with great simplicity the probability distribution of a scale-invariant process in terms of macroscopic observables. The ME principle offers a universal and unified framework for characterizing such multiscaling processes.

ADK Entropy and ADK Entropy Rate in Irreducible- Aperiodic Markov Chain and Gaussian Processes
In this paper, the two parameter ADK entropy, as a generalized of Re'nyi entropy, is considered and some properties of it, are investigated. We will see that the ADK entropy for continuous random variables is invariant under a location and is not invariant under a scale transformation of the random variable. Furthermore, the joint ADK entropy, conditional ADK entropy, and chain rule of this ent...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of scale - invariant processes Report
We have demonstrated that the Maximum Entropy (ME) principle in the context of Bayesian probability theory can be used to derive the probability distributions of those processes characterized by its scaling properties including multiscaling moments and geometric mean. We started from a proof-of-concept case of a power-law probability distribution, followed by the general case of multifractality...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
متن کاملA Note on the Bivariate Maximum Entropy Modeling
Let X=(X1 ,X2 ) be a continuous random vector. Under the assumption that the marginal distributions of X1 and X2 are given, we develop models for vector X when there is partial information about the dependence structure between X1 and X2. The models which are obtained based on well-known Principle of Maximum Entropy are called the maximum entropy (ME) mo...
متن کاملA Scale Invariant Bayesian Method to Solve Linear Inverse Problems
In this paper we propose a new Bayesian estimation method to solve linear inverse problems in signal and image restoration and reconstruction problems which has the property to be scale invariant. In general, Bayesian estimators are nonlinear functions of the observed data. The only exception is the Gaussian case. When dealing with linear inverse problems the linearity is sometimes a too strong...
