A Maximum Entropy Approach to Loss Distribution Analysis

In this paper we propose an approach to the estimation and simulation of loss distributions based on Maximum Entropy (ME), a non-parametric technique that maximizes the Shannon entropy of the data under moment constraints. Special cases of the ME density correspond to standard distributions; therefo...
