内容説明
The maximum entropy method and the related Bayesian probability theory have recently become better known to research workers, but the power of these methods to resolve the true structures underlying many types of data is still not widely recognized. This volume provides an account of such methods. It is designed to introduce the reader to the principles of probability theory, viewed as the logic of inference, and to explain the role that entropy plays in the assignment of probabilities. The chapters concerned with applications show how the resulting algorithms can be implemented and how they work out in practice. In addition, the text examines the relation between statistical and dynamical theories in physics, and explores the confusion which surrounds the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

内容説明
The powerful new technique of maximum entropy, which has its roots in probability theory, provides a much needed extension of the established principles of rational inference in the sciences. It allows the interpretation of incomplete and noisy data, to provide a description of the underlying physical system, and has found application in both practical and theoretical studies ranging form image enhancement to nuclear physics, from statistical mechanics to economics.
This book is a diverse collection of introductory articles based on a series of interdisciplinary lectures covering the fundamentals of the maximum entropy approach and Bayesian methods, as well as the application of the method to various problems of data analysis in the physical sciences.
