The Maximum Entropy Method

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 76))

Faced with the problem: ‘my map has sidelobes and noise on it’, they promptly reach for the nearest available weapons — ‘cleaners, polishers and kneaders’. All these use varying amounts of subjective human judgement, as for example in ‘window cleaning’.
