Maximum entropy is presented as a universal method of finding a “best” positive distribution constrained by incomplete data. The generalised entropy ∑(f - m - f log(f/m))) is the only form which selects acceptable distributions f in particular cases. It holds even if f is not normalised, so that maximum entropy applies directly to physical distributions other than probabilities. Furthermore, maximum entropy should also be used to select “best” parameters if the underlying model m has such freedom.
