This volume represents the proceedings of the Ninth Annual MaxEnt
Workshop, held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, on
August 14-18, 1989. These annual meetings are devoted to the theory
and practice of Bayesian Probability and the Maximum Entropy
Formalism. The fields of application exemplified at MaxEnt '89 are
as diverse as the foundations of probability theory and atmospheric
carbon variations, the 1987 Supernova and fundamental quantum
mechanics. Subjects include sea floor drug absorption in man,
pressures, neutron scattering, plasma equilibrium, nuclear magnetic
resonance, radar and astrophysical image reconstruction, mass
spectrometry, generalized parameter estimation, delay estimation,
pattern recognition, heave responses in underwater sound and many
others. The first ten papers are on probability theory, and are
grouped together beginning with the most abstract followed by those
on applications. The tenth paper involves both Bayesian and MaxEnt
methods and serves as a bridge to the remaining papers which are
devoted to Maximum Entropy theory and practice. Once again, an
attempt has been made to start with the more theoretical papers and
to follow them with more and more practical applications. Papers
number 29, 30 and 31, by Kesaven, Seth and Kapur, represent a
somewhat different, perhaps even "unorthodox" viewpoint, and are
included here even though the editor and, indeed many in the
audience at Dartmouth, disagreed with their content. I feel that
scientific disagreements are essential in any developing field, and
often lead to a deeper understanding.
