Description
American Institute of Physics Bayesian Inference And Maximum Entropy Methods In Science And Engineering by Kevin H. Knuth
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._x000D_ _x000D_
