Analysis and Comparison of the Maximum Entropy Method

  • Chapter
The Maximum Entropy Method

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Information Sciences ((SSINF,volume 32))

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the analysis and comparison of the three schools of thought on MEM, namely, MEM1, MEM2 and Generalized MEM (GMEM), in basic idea, solution properties, etc. Emphasis will be put on the comparison of the MEM1 and MEM2 solution properties. Both experimental results and theoretical analysis are presented. For the purposes of completeness or further studies, some issues mentioned in the previous chapters will be discussed again in this chapter.
