Divergence measures based on the Shannon entropy
- IEEE Transactions on Information theory
, 1991
"... Abstract-A new class of information-theoretic divergence measures based on the Shannon entropy is introduced. Unlike the well-known Kullback divergences, the new measures do not require the condition of absolute continuity to be satisfied by the probability distributions in-volved. More importantly, ..."

Maximum entropy markov models for information extraction and segmentation
, 2000
"... Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a powerful probabilistic tool for modeling sequential data, and have been applied with success to many text-related tasks, such as part-of-speech tagging, text segmentation and information extraction. In these cases, the observations are usually modeled as multinomial ..."

It does this by using the maximum entropy framework to fit a set of exponential models that represent the probability of a state given an observation and the previous state. We
The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks
- JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC THEORY 106, 265–295
, 2002
"... We examine the dynamic formation and stochastic evolution of networks connecting individuals. The payoff to an individual from an economic or social activity depends on the network of connections among individuals. Over time individuals form and sever links connecting themselves to other individuals ..."

How to improve Bayesian reasoning without instruction: Frequency formats
- Psychological Review
, 1995
"... Is the mind, by design, predisposed against performing Bayesian inference? Previous research on base rate neglect suggests that the mind lacks the appropriate cognitive algorithms. However, any claim against the existence of an algorithm, Bayesian or otherwise, is impossible to evaluate unless one s ..."

The authors show that Bayesian algorithms are computationally simpler in frequency formats than in the probability formats used in previous research. Frequency formats correspond to the sequential way information is acquired in natural
Frequency versus probability formats in statistical word problems

Where do interorganizational networks come from?
, 1998
"... Organizations enter alliances with each other to access critical resources, but they rely on information from the network of prior alliances to determine with whom to cooperate. These new alliances modify the existing network, prompting an endogenous dynamic between organizational action and network ..."

Testing these ideas on alliances formed in three industries over nine years, the authors show that the probability of a new alliance between specific organizations increases with their interdependence, but also with their prior
Frequency vs. probability formats: Framing the three doors problem. Paper presented at
- the Proceedings of the Twentieth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society

Instead of subscribing to the view that people are unable to perform Bayesian probabilistic inference, recent re-search suggests that the algorithms people naturally use to perform Bayesian inference are better adapted for in-formation presented in a natural frequency format than in the common proba ..."

We tested this hypothe-sis on the notoriously difficult three doors problem, in-ducing subjects to consider the likelihoods involved in terms of natural frequencies or in terms of probabilities. We then examined their ability to perform the mathe-matics underlying the problem, a stronger
Frequency formats, probability formats, or problem structure? A test of the nested-sets hypothesis in an extensional reasoning task
"... Five experiments addressed a controversy in the probability judgment literature that centers on the efficacy of framing probabilities as frequencies. The natural frequency view predicts that frequency formats attenuate errors, while the nested-sets view predicts that highlighting the set-subset stru ..."
