	Maximum Entropy
		In ``A maximum entropy approach to natural language processing'' (Computational Linguistics 22:1, March 1996), the appendix describes an approach to computing the gain of a single feature f.
		This link is to the Maximum Entropy Modeling Toolkit, for parameter estimation and prediction for maximum entropy models in discrete domains.
		We present a maximum-likelihood approach for automatically constructing maximum entropy models and describe how to implement this approach efficiently, using as examples several problems in natural language processing.

	Maximum likelihood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a popular statistical method used to make inferences about parameters of the underlying probability distribution of a given data set.
		Maximum likelihood estimators achieve minimum variance (as given by the Cramer-Rao lower bound) in the limit as the sample size tends to infinity.
		Maximum likelihood estimation is related to generalized method of moments.

	Maxima and minima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, maxima and minima, also known as extrema, are points in the domain of a function at which the function takes the largest (maximum), or smallest (minimum) value either within a given neighbourhood (local extrema), or on the function domain in its entirety (global extrema).
		Any global maximum (minimum) is also a local maximum (minimum); however, a local maximum or minimum need not also be a global maximum or minimum.
		For twice-differentiable functions in one variable, a simple technique for finding local maxima and minima is to look for stationary points, which are points where the first derivative is zero.

		While Maximum has done a great job of providing parts that fit as well as possible, variations in individual chassis and existing hot-rod parts mean measuring and adjusting are occasionally necessary.
		Maximum's subframe connectors use a small crossmember under the car that bolts to the floorpan using the front seat's rear mounting bolts.
		Maximum supplies the main subframe connector beam with a bend already in it to help it contour against the floorpan, but jacking it tightly against the floor helps that much more.

	Maximum Power Transfer Theorem - Microwave Encyclopedia - Microwaves101.com
		The importance of matching a load to a source for maximum power transfer is extremely important in microwaves, as well as all manner of lower frequency stuff such as stereo sound systems, electrical generating plants, solar cells and hybrid electric cars.
		What we are trying to show here is that under maximum power transfer conditions, only half of the generator voltage makes its way to the load...
		Then you ask, "why doesn't maximum power transfer happen when I put a short circuit on the output, I know that the battery will discharge quickly under that condition?" The problem here is that total dissipation will be maximum with a short circuit load, but no power will be transferred out of the battery.

	Rhododendron maximum: Species In Our Midst

		maximum is one of the easier species to grow from seed and clones can be grafted.
		maximum, few have become commercially viable due to any of the following reasons: the difficulty of cutting propagation, the intolerance of full sun, failure to bloom at a young age, and late bloom after peak "garden center" sales.

	Maximum Likelihood Stereo Matching (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the research literature, maximum likelihood principles were applied to stereo matching by altering the stereo pair so that the difference would have a Gaussian distribution.
		The maximum likelihood metric is optimal in the sense that it maximizes the probability of similarity.
		Furthermore, we showed that the algorithms from the research literature could be improved by using the maximum likelihood metric instead of the sum of squared differences.

		The speed corresponding to the bottom of the power required curve is the speed for maximum endurance (Figure 1).

	Calculus I (Math 2413) - Applications of Derivatives - Minimum and Maximum Values
		Also, we call the minimum and maximum points of a function the extrema of the function. So, relative extrema will refer to the relative minimums and maximums while absolute extrema refer to the absolute minimums and maximums.
		A relative maximum or minimum is slightly different. All that’s required for a point to be a relative maximum or minimum is for that point to be a maximum or minimum in some interval of x’s around
		In this case the graph doesn’t stop increasing at either end and so there are no maximums of any kind for this function. No matter which point we pick on the graph there will be points both larger and smaller than it on either side so we can’t have any maximums in a graph.

	SPACE.com -- Solar Max is Over, Future Getting Brighter
		During the peak in activity, called the solar maximum or solar max, the Sun also releases energy through coronal holes, open magnetic fields that cause sharp increases in the amount of charged particles riding outward on the ever-present solar wind.
		During solar maximum, extra doses of the most extreme wavelengths of ultraviolet light heat Earth's upper atmosphere, a region called the thermosphere, which starts at about 60 miles up (100 kilometers).
		The extra heat causes the thermosphere to expand during solar maximum.
