Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy is sufficient but not necessary for the likelihood factorization required by Einstein
In 1910 Einstein published a crucial aspect of his understanding of Boltzmann entropy. He essentially argued that the likelihood function of any system composed by two probabilistically independent subsystems {\it ought} to be factorizable into the likelihood functions of each of the subsystems. Consistently he was satisfied by the fact …
