Sample Dependence in the Maximum Entropy Solution to the Generalized Moment Problem

The method of maximum entropy is quite a powerful tool to solve the generalized moment problem, which consists in determining the probability density of a random variable X from the knowledge of the expected values of a few functions of the variable. In actual practice, such expected values are dete...
