Plausible inference from the idea of estimation

Sergio Davis

The probability axioms by R. T. Cox can be regarded as the modern foundations of Bayesian inference, the idea of assigning degrees of belief to logical propositions in a manner con…

Jarzynski equality in the context of maximum path entropy

Diego González, Sergio Davis

In the global framework of finding an axiomatic derivation of nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics from fundamental principles, such as the maximum path entropy -- also known as Ma…

Continuity equation for probability as a requirement of inference over paths

Diego González, Daniela Díaz, Sergio Davis

In this work we present the fundamental ideas of inference over paths, and show how this formalism implies the continuity equation, which is central for the derivation of the main…

Liouville's Theorem from the Principle of Maximum Caliber in Phase Space

Diego González, Sergio Davis

One of the cornerstones in non--equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM) is Liouville's theorem, a differential equation for the phase space probability . This is usuall…

Temperature is not an observable in superstatistics

Sergio Davis, Gonzalo Gutiérrez

Superstatistics (Physica A 322, 267-275, 2003) is a formalism that attempts to explain the presence of distributions other than the Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions in Nature, typical…
