Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics Revisited

Published 2016-04-29Version 1

We derive Bose-Einstein statistics and Fermi-Dirac statistics by Principle of Maximum Entropy applied to two families of entropy functions different from the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy. These entropy functions are identified with special cases of modified Naudts' $\phi$-entropy.
