Edwin Thompson Jaynes (1922–1998) was an American physicist and statistician best known for his contributions to the foundations of probability theory and statistical inference. He is particularly recognized for advocating the Bayesian interpretation of probability and for developing the concept of maximum entropy in statistical mechanics and information theory. Jaynes' work emphasized the idea that probability should be viewed as a measure of uncertainty or a degree of belief rather than a frequency of events.
