Maximum Entropy: Clearing up Mysteries

Maximum Entropy: Clearing up Mysteries

Abstract: There are several mystifications and a couple of mysteries pertinent to MaxEnt. The mystifications, pitfalls and traps are set up mainly by an unfortunate formulation of Jaynes' die problem, the cause cÃƒÂ©lÃƒÂ¨bre of MaxEnt. After discussing the mystifications a new formulation of th...
