Generating statistical distributions without maximizing the entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show here how to use pieces of thermodynamics’ first law to generate probability distributions for generalized ensembles when only level-population changes are involved. Such microstate occupation modifications, if properly constrained via first law ingredients, can be associated not exclusively to heat and acquire a more general meaning.

Entropy Properties of Certain Record Statistics and Some Characterization Results
In this paper, the largest and the smallest observations are considered, at the time when a new record of either kind (upper or lower) occurs based on a sequence of independent random variables with identical continuous distributions. We prove that sequences of the residual or past entropy of the current records characterizes F in the family of continuous distributions. The exponential and the ...
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 کاملGalaxy Distributions and Tsallis Statistical Mechanics
Large-scale astrophysical systems are non-extensive due to their long-range force of gravity. Here we show an approach toward the statistical mechanics of such self-gravitating systems (SGS). This is a generalization of the standard statistical mechanics based on the new definition of entropy; Tsallis statistical mechanics. Developing the composition of entropy and the generalized Euler relatio...
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 کاملOn the Monotone Behavior of Time Dependent Entropy of Order alpha
In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...
