  • Abstract
    Given a finite set of moments or cumulants, the problem of finding the probability density function that maximizes the differential entropy is treated. Following the MAXENT approach of E.T. Jaynes (1982), a Lagrange multiplier optimization problem for the probability density of the independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.) noise, which can be solved analytically with the help of gamma and Bessel functions, is arrived at
