13.4 Summary and Conclusions

In this chapter we showed how to solve the maximum entropy problem with imprecise side-conditions for a crisp (non-fuzzy) discrete probability distribution. The next step would be to solve for a crisp continuous probability density. That is the topic of the next chapter.
