Synopsis
This book is a collection of introductory, interdisciplinary articles and lectures covering the fundamentals of the maximum entropy approach, a powerful new technique that provides a much needed extension of the established principles of rational inference in the sciences. Maximum entropy allows the interpretation of incomplete and "noisy" data, providing a description of the underlying physical systems. It has found application in both practical and theoretical studies ranging from image enhancement to nuclear physics, and from statistical mechanics to economics. The work explores these applications with specific problems of data analysis taken from the physical sciences. It will interest all physical scientists who deal with data and its interpretation, including statisticians and statistical physicists., The Maximum Entropy Method and the related Bayesian Probability Theory have recently become somewhat better known to research workers; but the power of these methods to resolve the true structures underlying many kinds of data is still not as widely recognized as it ought to be. This book is the first readily available account of such methods. It grew out of a series of interdisciplinary seminars, organized by the editors, and given by leading proponents of maximum entropy techniques in the UK. The written versions are intended 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, new light is shed upon the relation between statistical and dynamical theories in physics, and on the confusion which surrounds the Second Law of Thermodynamics., The Maximum Entropy Method and the related Bayesian Probability Theory have recently become somewhat better known to research workers; but the power of these methods to resolve the true structures underlying many kinds of data is still not as widely recognized as it ought to be.

    item arrived very quickly and safely. there was an issue with the item smelling like cigarettes, which wasn't mentioned in the description. but after some messaging with the seller they did fully apologize and offer a refund. seller is very friendly and good with communication. the one issue aside, i would absolutely buy from them again.

    Great seller. Book arrived within a reasonable time frame and was packaged in a protective wrapping. The condition of the book was "Very Good," as was described and includes a "Very Good" dust jacket with award stickers. Great value, extremely fair price. I'm always happy to do business with this trusted seller.
