What is this sites opinion on users answering questions by promoting their own 'non standard' research? By non standard, I mean research which makes claims that are generally accepted by the physics community to be either wrong or not useful. While it is tricky to know when this is happening eve...
A question of mine was closed on the grounds of being non-mainstream. Mainstream is defined below:
Mainstream physics is physics which has been accepted by a significant portion of the physics community. In the case of modern physics, if a theory has not been published in a reputable journal, it...
Inverse Ising Problem
The inverse ising problem means fitting the coupling $J_{ij}$ and field $h_{i}$ parameters given a sample of configurations of spins.
Each spin $s_{i}$ is either +1 or -1. The Hamiltonian of one configuration of spins $\vec{s}$ is:
$$ H(\vec{s}, \mathcal{J}, \mathcal{h}) = \...
