arXiv:2601.20970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The maximum-entropy remote sampling problem (MERSP) is to select a subset of $s$ random variables from a set of $n$ random variables, so as to maximize the information concerning a set of target random variables that are not directly observable. We assume that the set of all of these random variables follows a joint Gaussian distribution, and that we have the covariance matrix available. Finally, we measure information using Shannon's differential entropy. The main approach for exact solution of moderate-sized instances of MERSP has bee
