minimize entropy of P == maximize entropy of ?
Hello,
I am facing the following problem:
- I have distribution (or function) which depends on some parameter.
- I want to find the parameter which minimizes the entropy of the distribution.
In the particular situation I am facing I really need to reformulate this problem in a entropy-maximization problem.
In other words, is it possible to find a P' for which maximizing its entropy, is equivalent to minimize the entropy of P?
Thanks in advance!
