A weakly informative prior for resonance frequencies

Activity: Talk or presentationTalk or presentation at a conference

Description

We derive a weakly informative prior for a set of ordered resonance frequencies from Jaynes’ principle of maximum entropy. The prior facilitates model selection problems in which both the number and the values of the resonance frequencies are unknown. It encodes a weakly inductive bias, provides a reasonable density everywhere, is easily parametrizable, and is easy to sample. We hope that this prior can enable the use of robust evidence-based methods for a new class of problems, even in the presence of multiplets of arbitrary order.
