Maximum entropy models

This repo contains code related to my Master's project. At this stage, the aim is for code which illustrates an understanding of how maximum entropy models (MaxEnt models) work and can be fitted to data, as opposed to code which will replace existing maximum entropy packages. For examples of existing MaxEnt packages see:

The code is structured into the following directories:

  • notebooks: jupyter notebooks
  • maxent: main Python code with MaxEnt implementations
  • matlab: code in Matlab that makes use of the maxent_toolbox package.
  • wolfram: exploration of analytic solutions for Ising, indepenent and population count models using the wolfram language
  • results: collection of plots, saved weights and other outputs
  • tests: tests for the code (PyTest)
  • data: data that we use to train the maxent models, and files to make things reproducible

Testing and simple examples

At this stage, the unit tests in the tests directory provide simple examples with known outputs to test the code against. These can be run as tests by typing pytest into the command line.
