About this title

Synopsis

This excellent volume considers the methods, applications and even the foundations of a key area of theoretical study. Namely, that of Bayesian probability, entropy and information theory in scientific and engineering applications. The material here has come out of the so-called MaxEnt workshops that for more than 25 years have explored the subject. Application areas include, but are not limited to: astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and engineering.
