Constructive approximations to the q=1∕2 maximum entropy distribution from redundant and noisy data

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: The problem of constructing the q=1/2 nonextensive maximum entropy distributions from redundant and noisy data is considered. A strategy is proposed, which evolves through the following steps. (i) Independent constraints are first preselected by recourse to a data-independent technique to be discussed here. (ii) The data are a posteriori used to determine the parameters of the distribution by a previously introduced forward approach. (iii) A backward approach is proposed for reducing the parameters of such distribution. The previously introduced forward approach is generalized here in order to make it suitable for dealing with very noisy data.
