Convex operational models (COMs) are considered as great extrapolations to larger settings of any statistical theory. In this article, we generalize the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) of Jaynes' to any COM. After ...

It has been recently argued that the MaxEnt variational problem would not adequately work for Renyi's and Tsallis’ entropies. We constructively show here that this is not so if one formulates the associated variational ...

We study some peculiarities of the MaxEnt variational treatment in connection with thermodynamics´ reciprocity relations, which we attack from two view points, an abstract and a straightforward ones. We focus on the so ...

We describe in great generality features concerning constrained entropic, functional variational problems that allow for a broad range of applications. Our discussion encompasses not only entropies but, potentially, any ...

New records of the spider Chibchea salta Huber 2000 (Araneae, Pholcidae) from northwestern Argentina are provided, and the potential range of this species is modeled. Two presence-only methods, Maxent and Bioclim, were run ...

MaxEnt's variational principle, in conjunction with Shannon's logarithmic information measure, yields only exponential functional forms in straightforward fashion. In this communication we show how to overcome this limitation ...

We investigate first-order approximations to both (i) Tsallis’ entropy Sq and (ii) the Sq-MaxEnt solution (called q-exponential functions eq). We use an approximation/expansion for q very close to unity. It is shown that ...

The distribution of the planktivorous basking shark Cetorhinus maximus is influenced by zooplankton abundance at small scales and temperature at medium scales in the North Atlantic. Here, we estimate the distribution of ...

We explore intriguing links connecting Hellmann–Feynman’s theorem to a thermodynamics information-optimizing principle based on Fisher’s information measure.
