Maximum Entropy

by Amos Golan

In this edition of Amos Golan's Maximum Entropy, the problem of recovering and processing information when the underlying data is limited or partial is considered. It surveys a wide range of empirical approaches to this fascinating field. Maximum entropy economics is a relatively new discipline in this area with a growing number of devotees. Statistical economics examines the issues from a sample/population type view point whereas entropy economics looks at these issues as if from a totally dynamic and random system.
