What is the question that MaxEnt answers? A probabilistic interpretation
Marian Grendar, Marian Grendar
Abstract
The Boltzmann-Wallis-Jaynes' multiplicity argument is taken up and elaborated. MaxEnt is proved and demonstrated to be just an asymptotic case of looking for such a vector of absolute frequencies in a feasible set, which has maximal probability of being generated by a uniform prior generator/pmf.
