Maximum entropy probability distribution

In statistics and information theory, a maximum entropy probability distribution has entropy that is at least as great as that of all other members of a specified class of probability distributions. According to the principle of maximum entropy, if nothing is known about a distribution except that it belongs to a certain class (usually defined in terms of specified properties or measures), then the distribution with the largest entropy should be chosen as the least-informative default. The motivation is twofold: first, maximizing entropy minimizes the amount of prior information built into the distribution; second, many physical systems tend to move towards maximal entropy configurations over time.

UNIFORM Probability Distribution for Discrete Random Variables (9-5)

Uniform Probability Distribution: (i.e., a rectangular distribution) is a probability distribution involving one random variable with a constant probability. Each potential outcome is equally likely, such as flipping coin and getting heads is always 50/50. On Chaos Night, Dante experiment

Entropy production during free expansion of an ideal gas by Subhadip Chakraborti

Abstract: According to the second law, the entropy of an isolated system increases during its evolution from one equilibrium state to another. The free expansion of a gas, on removal of a partition in a box, is an example where we expect to see such an increase of entropy. The constructi

Teach Astronomy - Entropy of the Universe

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The entropy of the universe is a measure of its disorder or chaos. If the laws of thermodynamics apply to the universe as a whole as they do to individual objects or systems within the universe, then the fate of the universe must be to increase in entropy.
