Escort entropies and divergences and related canonical distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss two families of two-parameter entropies and divergences, derived from the standard Rényi and Tsallis entropies and divergences. These divergences and entropies are found as divergences or entropies of escort distributions. Exploiting the nonnegativity of the divergences, we derive the expression of the canonical distribution associated to the new entropies and a observable given as an escort-mean value. We show that this canonical distribution extends, and smoothly connects, the results obtained in nonextensive thermodynamics for the standard and generalized mean value constraints.

A simple probabilistic construction yielding generalized entropies and divergences, escort distributions and q-Gaussians
We give a simple probabilistic description of a transition between two states which leads to a generalized escort distribution. When the parameter of the distribution varies, it de nes a parametric curve that we call an escort-path. The Rényi divergence appears as a natural by-product of the setting. We study the dynamics of the Fisher information on this path, and show in particular that the t...
متن کاملDiscretization problems on generalized entropies and R-divergences
In many practical applications, data about an unknown continuous distribution arise in a grouped form. For these cases, estimation of population entropies and divergences must be done by means of their sample discretized estimates. In this paper, the problem of loss of information due to the discretization of the data is studied for (h, )-entropies and R^-diveigences. Quadratic convergence t...
متن کاملGeneralized entropies and logarithms and their duality relations.
For statistical systems that violate one of the four Shannon-Khinchin axioms, entropy takes a more general form than the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. The framework of superstatistics allows one to formulate a maximum entropy principle with these generalized entropies, making them useful for understanding distribution functions of non-Markovian or nonergodic complex systems. For such systems where t...
متن کاملEscort Evolutionary Game Theory
A family of replicator-like dynamics, called the escort replicator equation, is constructed using information-geometric concepts and generalized information entropies and diverenges from statistical thermodynamics. Lyapunov functions and escort generalizations of basic concepts and constructions in evolutionary game theory are given, such as an escorted Fisher’s Fundamental theorem and generali...
متن کاملConstraints and relative entropies in nonextensive statistical mechanics
In nonextensive statistical mechanics, two kinds of definitions have been considered for expectation value of a physical quantity: one is the ordinary definition and the other is the normalized q-expectation value employing the escort distribution. Since both of them lead to the maximum-Tsallis-entropy distributions of a similar type, it is of crucial importance to determine which the correct p...
