We develop a family of infinite-dimensional Banach manifolds of measures on an abstract measurable space, employing charts that are "balanced" between the density and log-density functions. The manifolds, $(\tilde{M}_{\lambda},\lambda\in…

The basic properties of the Fisher information allow to reveal the statistical meaning of classical inequalities between mean functions. The properties applied to scale mixtures of Gaussian distributions lead to a new mean function of…

Fisher information is a measure of the best precision with which a parameter can be estimated from statistical data. It can also be defined for a continuous random variable without reference to any parameters, in which case it has a…

In classical density (or density-functional) estimation, it is standard to assume that the underlying distribution has a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure. However, when the data distribution is a mixture of continuous and…

Alternative proofs for the superadditivity and the affinity (in the large system limit) of the usual and some fractional Fisher informations of a probability density of many variables are provided. They are consequences of the fact that…
