Abstract
The purpose of this second talk is to examine in detail the nature of the relation between the traditional formulation of probabilistic direct methods, their maximum-entropy reformulation, and the saddlepoint method. Most of the material in this talk has already appeared in the literature (Bricogne, 1984, 1988a, 1988b) but it is hoped that the choice and presentation adopted here will make the main results stand out clearly.
