Abstract
We present a method to generate probability distributions that correspond to metrics obeying partial differential equations generated by extremizing a functional , where is the Fisher metric. We postulate that this functional of the dynamical variable is stationary with respect to small variations of these variables. Our approach enables a dynamical approach to Fisher information metric. It allows to impose symmetries on a statistical system in a systematic way. This work is mainly motivated by the entropy approach to nonmonotonic reasoning.
