An elementary introduction to information geometry

F Nielsen - Entropy, 2020 - mdpi.com
In this survey, we describe the fundamental differential-geometric structures of information
manifolds, state the fundamental theorem of information geometry, and illustrate some use …

Wasserstein Riemannian geometry of Gaussian densities

L Malagò, L Montrucchio, G Pistone - Information Geometry, 2018 - Springer

VI Man'ko, G Marmo, F Ventriglia… - Journal of Physics A …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In the framework of quantum information geometry, we derive, from quantum relative Tsallis
entropy, a family of quantum metrics on the space of full rank, N level quantum states, by …

Tsallis and Rényi deformations linked via a new λ-duality

TKL Wong, J Zhang - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Tsallis and Rényi entropies, which are monotone transformations of each other, are
deformations of the celebrated Shannon entropy. Maximization of these deformed entropies …

Legendre duality: from thermodynamics to information geometry

J Naudts, J Zhang - Information Geometry, 2024 - Springer
This paper reviews the role of convex duality in Information Geometry. It clarifies the notion
of bi-orthogonal coordinates associated with Legendre duality by treating its two underlying …

Deformed exponentials and applications to finance

B Trivellato - Entropy, 2013 - mdpi.com
We illustrate some financial applications of the Tsallis and Kaniadakis deformed
exponential. The minimization of the corresponding deformed divergence is discussed as a …

Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics for probabilities on the statistical bundle

G Chirco, L Malagò, G Pistone - International Journal of Geometric …, 2022 - World Scientific

Examples of the application of nonparametric information geometry to statistical physics

G Pistone - Entropy, 2013 - mdpi.com
We review a nonparametric version of Amari's information geometry in which the set of
positive probability densities on a given sample space is endowed with an atlas of charts to …

Information geometry for the working information theorist

KV Mishra, MA Kumar, TKL Wong - arxiv preprint arxiv:2310.03884, 2023 - arxiv.org
Information geometry is a study of statistical manifolds, that is, spaces of probability
distributions from a geometric perspective. Its classical information-theoretic applications …
