CDF and entropy of different sets of states are different tings? I added a script to calc max entropy for coins and then stars. I haven't yet confirmed not equivalent to taking CDF approach but I don't think CDF factors in the concavity needed to land on the max entropy solution. + ##### Binomial Solved as Multinomial See 2023-10-04 Wolfram Notebook @@ -91,4 +93,4 @@ Finally * And relate all this to the binomial problem solved in Nassim's blog ### Application Notes -* This is mainly useful in the small sample space, where you have a handful of reviews (with less you can't do much, with more than 30 or so the binomial starts to converge to it's true generating distribution (law of large numbers)) \ No newline at end of file +* This is mainly useful in the small sample space, where you have a handful of reviews (with less you can't do much, with more than 30 or so the binomial starts to converge to it's true generating distribution (law of large numbers))
