Maximum Entropy Models in Science and Engineering

This text/reference presents practical maximum-entropy models used in both the hard and the soft sciences. The basic theory of the maximum-entropy principle is explained, followed by detailed applications in numerous areas of science, business and economics, including thermodynamics, mechanics, statistics, design of experiments, time-series analysis, queuing and decision theory. Contains more than 600 specially constructed exercises.J. N. Kapur is the author of 'Maximum Entropy Models in Science and Engineering', published 1990 under ISBN 9780470214596 and ISBN 0470214597.
