Abstract: In this paper, a new method for constructing the probability box (p-box) model is developed based on maximum entropy principle. The distribution characteristics of probability box variable can be described by the nature of moments.… read more here.

Abstract: Quantitatively assessing the level of confidence on a test score can be a challenging problem, especially when the available information is based on multiple criteria. A concrete example beyond the usual grading of tests occurs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15598608.2016.1251365
Abstract: ABSTRACTThis article deals with an unreliable queueing system with Bernoulli feedback and discouraging behavior of the units arriving at the service system. The maximum entropy principle is used to study the queueing indices of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/711586
Abstract: In many ways, entropy and probability are two concepts that complement each other. But it has been argued that there is no ‘straightforward connection’ between them with a no-go thesis from Kevin Davey. However, this… read more here.

Bertrand's Paradox and the Maximum Entropy Principle
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Philosophy and Phenomenological Research"
DOI: 10.1111/phpr.12596
Abstract: An important suggestion of objective Bayesians is that the maximum entropy principle can replace a principle which is known to get into paradoxical difficulties: the principle of indifference. No one has previously determined whether the… read more here.
