PyMaxEnt swMATH ID: 32597 Software Authors: Tony Saad; Giovanna Ruai Description: PyMaxEnt: A Python software for maximum entropy moment reconstruction. PyMaxEnt is a software that implements the principle of maximum entropy to reconstruct functional distributions given a finite number of known moments. The software supports both continuous and discrete reconstructions, and is very easy to use through a single function call. In this article, we set out to verify and validate the software against several tests ranging from the reconstruction of discrete probability distributions for biased dice all the way to multimodal Gaussian and beta distributions. Written in Python, PyMaxEnt provides a robust and easy-to-use implementation for the community.
