Superstatistical distributions from a maximum entropy principle
  We deal with a generalized statistical description of nonequilibrium complex systems based on least biased distributions given some prior information. A maximum entropy principle is introduced that allows for the determination of the distribution of the fluctuating intensive parameter $\beta$ of a superstatistical system, given certain constraints on the complex system under consideration. We apply the theory to three examples: The superstatistical quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, the superstatistical classical ideal gas, and velocity time series as measured in a turbulent Taylor-Couette flow.
