Comment on "Critique of multinomial coefficient method for evaluating Tsallis and Renyi entropies" by A.S. Parvan

Abstract

Parvan [arXiv:0911.0383v1] [1] has recently presented some calculations in order to demonstrate the incorrectness of the results obtained from the generalized multinomial coefficients (GMC) presented in Ref. [2]. According to Parvan, the aforementioned approach of studying maximum entropy probability distributions is erroneous. In this comment I demonstrate that Parvan's arguments do not hold true and that the obtained results from GMC do not present either mathematical or physical discrepancies.
