....of Statistical Mechanics he calls the quantity entropy and adopts the symbol H , recalling Boltzmann s H theorem. In 1957, Edwin Jaynes converted Shannon s measure to a powerful instrument for the generation of statistical hypotheses and . applied it as a tool in statistical inference [Tri79]. In a pair of seminal articles, Jay57a, Jay57b] Jaynes demonstrates that by viewing it as a problem of statistical inference, Statistical Mechanics can be derived without depending on additional assumptions not contained in the laws of mechanics [Jay57a] His method of inference is based on ....
