Construct
a Model, 2
Idea: Choose the
p with maximal entropy
Seems reasonable and fair, but is it really the
best target/energy function?
Lagrange multipliers and calculus of
variations lead to
p(Γ;
Φ, Λ)
= exp(–∑φЄΦ ∫ λφ(z)
H(φ, Γ,
z) dz) /
Z
where Z
is the usual normalizing factor
Λ
= { λφ
| φЄΦ
}
