(LaTeX) Abstract:
We present a new approach to inferring a probability distribution
which is incompletely specified by a number of linear constraints.
We argue that the currently most popular approach of entropy
maximization depends on a ``constraints as knowledge'' interpretation
of the constraints, and that a different ``constraints as data''
perspective leads to a completely different type of inference
procedures by statistical methods. With statistical methods
some of the counterintuitive results of entropy maximization
can be avoided, and inconsistent sets of constraints can be
handled just like consistent ones. A particular statistical
inference method is developed and shown to have a
nice robustness property.
