This volume has its origin in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
Workshops on and Bayesian Methods in Applied Statistics," held at
"Maximum-Entropy the University of Wyoming, August 5-8, 1985, and
at Seattle University, August 5-8, 1986, and August 4-7, 1987. It
was anticipated that the proceedings of these workshops would be
combined, so most of the papers were not collected until after the
seventh workshop. Because all of the papers in this volume are on
foundations, it is believed that the con tents of this volume will
be of lasting interest to the Bayesian community. The workshop was
organized to bring together researchers from different fields to
critically examine maximum-entropy and Bayesian methods in science
and engineering as well as other disciplines. Some of the papers
were chosen specifically to kindle interest in new areas that may
offer new tools or insight to the reader or to stimulate work on
pressing problems that appear to be ideally suited to the
maximum-entropy or Bayesian method. A few papers presented at the
workshops are not included in these proceedings, but a number of
additional papers not presented at the workshop are included. In
particular, we are delighted to make available Professor E. T.
Jaynes' unpublished Stanford University Microwave Laboratory Report
No. 421 "How Does the Brain Do Plausible Reasoning?" (dated August
1957). This is a beautiful, detailed tutorial on the
Cox-Polya-Jaynes approach to Bayesian probability theory and the
maximum-entropy principle."
