Monte-Carlo ApproachGenerate smooth random data which is consistent with
experimental data
Fraction of random data that has Mott plateausgives probability that there is a Mott plateau
Extension: Can produce most probable smooth reconstructionbin consistent random data
bin with most elements = most probable
Maximum Entropy
TricksEnforce known symmetries/constraints:
Density is positiveslope is negative

Typical Choice: Shannon Entropy

ThoughtsNot as good as a real model
Introduces less bias
Needs relatively clean data
Dreams: extract equations of state, phase diagrams, entropy (temp), superfluid density...
