Performance Of Shannon’s Maximum Entropy Distribution Under Some Restrictions: An Application On Turkey’s Annual Temperatures
Journal Title: Alphanumeric Journal - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Entropy has a very important role in Statistics. In recent studies it can be seen that entropy started to take place nearly in every brunch of science. In information theory, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty in a random variable. While there are different kinds of methods in entropy, the most common maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method maximizes the Shannon’s entropy according to the restrictions which are obtained from the random variables. MaxEnt distribution is the distribution which is obtained by this method. The purpose of this study is to calculate the MaxEnt distribution of Turkey’s Annual temperatures for last 43 years under combinations of the restrictions 1, x, x2, lnx, (lnx)2, ln(1+x2) and to compare this distribution with the real probability distribution by the help of Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test. According to the results, goodness of fit statistics accept the null hypothesis that all the entropy distributions fit with the probability distribution. The results are given in related tables and figures.
