Modeling of the Maximum Entropy Problem as an Optimal Control Problem and its Application to Pdf Estimation of Electricity Price
In this paper, the continuous optimal control theory is used to model and solve the maximum entropy problem for a continuous random variable. The maximum entropy principle provides a method to obtain least-biased probability density function (Pdf) estimation. In this paper, to find a closed form solution for the maximum entropy problem with any number of moment constraints, the entropy is consi...
متن کاملSOLVING SINGULAR ODES IN UNBOUNDED DOMAINS WITH SINC-COLLOCATION METHOD
Spectral approximations for ODEs in unbounded domains have only received limited attention. In many applicable problems, singular initial value problems arise. In solving these problems, most of numerical methods have difficulties and often could not pass the singular point successfully. In this paper, we apply the sinc-collocation method for solving singular initial value problems. The ability...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy in the Finite Hausdorff Moment Problem
The maximum entropy (M.E.) approach to the nite Hausdorr moment problem is studied, a new approach to prove the necessary and suucient conditions for the existence of M.E. solution is considered by transforming the moment problem into a system of ordinary diierential equations. The new technique allows also to prove entropy convergence of the resulting sequence of maximum entropy extimators, an...
متن کاملBounds on the Maximum Bayes Error Given Moments
We show how to compute lower bounds for the maximum possible Bayes error if the class-conditional distributions must satisfy moment constraints. Our approach makes use of Curto and Fialkow’s solutions for the truncated moment problem. We also give an upper bound that follows from related work by Lanckreit et al., Bertsimas and Popescu, and Marshall and Olkin. Index Terms Bayes error, maximum en...
متن کاملThe Multidimensional Maximum Entropy Moment Problem: a Review on Numerical Methods
Recently the author developed a numerical method for the multidimensional momentconstrained maximum entropy problem, which is practically capable of solving maximum entropy problems in the two-dimensional domain with moment constraints of order up to 8, in the threedimensional domain with moment constraints of order up to 6, and in the four-dimensional domain with moment constraints of order up...
