MaxEnt: Maximum Entropy Code is an easy-to-run Matlab code for the calculation of the maximum entropy distributions and the corresponding statistical samples from a given set of known information. The implementation is numerically robust and follows an educational style, to make its use very intuitive. Examples with representative benchmark tests are provided.

Documentation

MaxEnt routines are commented to explain their functionality to the final user. Each routine has a short description of its purpose and a list of inputs and/or outputs. Examples with a few, but representative, benchmark tests are provided to illustrate the code functionality.
