Abstract
Maximum likelihood estimation is a valuable tool often applied to inverse problems in quantum theory. Estimation from small data sets can, however, have non unique solutions. We discuss this problem and propose to use Jaynes maximum entropy principle to single out the most unbiased maximum-likelihood guess.
