Abstract :
The authors present an iterative algorithm for implementing the relative entropy method for PMF (probability mass function) estimation. Numerical examples are included using synthetic PMF´s and actual speech data. Benchmark measurements of the algorithm are compared to results for the maximum-entropy method
