| dc.description.abstract | We present a new algorithm for computing the maximum entropy probability distribution satisfying a set of constraints. Unlike previous approaches, our method is integrated with the planning of data collection and tabulation. We show how adding constraints and performing the associated additional tabulations can substantially speed up computation by replacing the usual iterative techniques with a straight-forward computation. | en_US |
