On Maximum Entropy Characterization of Pearson's Type II and VII Multivariate Distributions

Abstract

In this paper a characterization is presented for Pearson's Type II and VII multivariate distributions by means of the maximum entropy principle. It is shown that within the class of multivariate distributions, that satisfy appropriate constraints expressed by mean values, the Pearson Type II and VII distributions maximize the Shannon entropy.
