Description
We present a novel analytical method to calculate conformational entropy of ideal cross-linking polymers from the configuration integral by employing a Mayer series expansion. Mayer-functions describing chemical bonds within the chain and for cros...

Description
A MATLAB function is presented for nonparametric probability density estimation, based on an iterative method that employs the principle of maximum entropy and characteristic properties of single order statistics. Featuring a robust and adaptive d...

Description
Previously, we developed a high throughput non-parametric maximum entropy method (PLOS ONE, 13(5): e0196937, 2018) that employs a log-likelihood scoring function to characterize uncertainty in trial probability density estimates through a scaled q...
