The q-exponential distributions, which are generalizations of the Zipf-Mandelbrot power-law distribution, are frequently encountered in complex systems at their stationary states. From the viewpoint of the principle of maximum entropy, they…
In the framework of the Tsallis statistical mechanics, for the spin-1/2 and the harmonic oscillator, we study the change of the population of states when the parameter $q$ is varied; the results show that the difference between predictions…
Tsallis statistics (or q-statistics) in nonextensive statistical mechanics is a one-parameter description of correlated states. In this paper we use a translated entropic index: $1 - q \to q$ . The essence of this translation is to improve…
We revisit the derivation of a formula for the $q$-generalised multinomial coefficient rooted in the $q$-deformed algebra, a foundational framework in the study of nonextensive statistics. Previous approximate expressions in the literature…
The distribution and heritability of many traits depends on numerous loci in the genome. In general, the astronomical number of possible genotypes makes the system with large numbers of loci difficult to describe. Multilocus evolution,…
Tsallis' non-extensive entropy is extended to incorporate the dependence on affinities between the microstates of a system. At the core of our construction of the extended entropy ($\mathcal{H}$) is the concept of the effective number of…

Whereas Shannon entropy is related to the growth rate of multinomial coefficients, we show that the quadratic entropy (Tsallis 2-entropy) is connected to their $q$-deformation; when $q$ is a prime power, these $q$-multinomial coefficients…
We find the value of constants related to constraints in characterization of some known statistical distributions and then we proceed to use the idea behind maximum entropy principle to derive generalized version of this distributions using…
We introduce a fractional generalization of Tsallis entropy by acting with a $q$-Caputo operator on the generating family $\sum_i p_i^{\,x}$ evaluated at $x=1$. Concretely, we define $S_{q}^{\alpha}$ through the $q$-Caputo differintegral of…
Gauss' law of error is generalized in Tsallis statistics such as multifractal systems, in which Tsallis entropy plays an essential role instead of Shannon entropy. For the generalization, we apply the new multiplication operation determined…
We studied multiple quantum harmonic oscillators in the Tsallis statistics of entropic parameter $q$ in the cases that the distributions are power-like, separately applying the conventional expectation value, the unnormalized…
An amended MaxEnt formulation for systems displaced from the conventional MaxEnt equilibrium is proposed. This formulation involves the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence to a reference $Q$ (or maximization of Shannon…
This paper studies the use of the Tsallis Entropy versus the classic Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy for classifying image patterns. Given a database of 40 pattern classes, the goal is to determine the class of a given image sample. Our…
We have discussed the Tsallis entropy in finite $N$-unit nonextensive systems, by using the multivariate $q$-Gaussian probability distribution functions (PDFs) derived by the maximum entropy methods with the normal average and the…
We propose a statistical mechanics for a general class of stationary and metastable equilibrium states. For this purpose, the Gibbs extremal conditions are slightly modified in order to be applied to a wide class of non-equilibrium states.…
Tsallis and R\'{e}nyi entropies, which are monotone transformations of each other, are deformations of the celebrated Shannon entropy. Maximization of these deformed entropies, under suitable constraints, leads to the $q$-exponential family…
Probability distributions which emerge from the formalism of nonextensive statistical mechanics have been applied to a variety of problems. In this paper we unite modeling of such distributions with the model of widespread 1/f noise. We…
In evolutionary biology, the speciation history of living organisms is represented graphically by a phylogeny, that is, a rooted tree whose leaves correspond to current species and branchings indicate past speciation events. Phylogenies are…
The construction of efficient and effective decision trees remains a key topic in machine learning because of their simplicity and flexibility. A lot of heuristic algorithms have been proposed to construct near-optimal decision trees. ID3,…
