We show that Abe's general pseudoadditivity for entropy prescribed by thermal equilibrium in nonextensive systems holds not only for entropy, but also for energy. The application of this general pseudoadditivity to Tsallis entropy tells us…
The factorization problem of $q$-exponential distribution within nonextensive statistical mechanics is discussed on the basis of Abe's general pseudoadditivity for equilibrium systems. it is argued that the factorization of compound…
The formalism of statistical mechanics can be generalized by starting from more general measures of information than the Shannon entropy and maximizing those subject to suitable constraints. We discuss some of the most important examples of…
Superstatistics and Tsallis statistics in statistical mechanics is given an interpretation in terms of Bayesian statistical analysis. Subsequently superstatistics is extended by replacing each component of the conditional and marginal…
We present a discussion of generalized statistics based on Renyi's, Fisher's and Tsallis's measures of information. The unifying conceptual framework which we employ here is provided by information theory. Important applications of…
We study the estimation of Tsallis entropy of a finite number of independent populations, each following an exponential distribution with the same scale parameter and distinct location parameters for $q>0$. We derive a Stein-type improved…
In this letter, we study the limit behavior of the evolution of Tsallis entropy in self-gravitating systems. The study is carried out under two different situations, drawing the same conclusion. No matter in the energy transfer process or…
Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy leads to systems that have a strong dependence on initial conditions. In reality, most materials behave quite independently of initial conditions. Nonextensive entropy or Tsallis entropy leads to nonextensive…
Nonadditive Tsallis $q$-statistics has successfully been applied for a plethora of systems in natural sciences and other branches of knowledge. Nevertheless, its foundations have been severely criticised by some authors based on the…
In the present paper the conditions for the validity of the Tsallis' Statistics are analyzed. The same has been done following the analogy with the traditional case: starting from the microcanonical description of the systems and taking…
The standard method for the propagation of errors, based on a Taylor series expansion, is approximate and frequently inadequate for realistic problems. A simple and generic technique is described in which the likelihood is constructed…
In this paper, we attempt to derive the expression of ensemble average internal energy in long-range interaction complex system. Further, the Shannon entropy hypothesis is used to derive the probability distribution function of energy. It…
We show that the stochastic interpretation of Tsallis' thermostatistics given recently by Beck [Phys. Rev. Lett {\bf 87}, 180601 (2001)] leads naturally to a multi-parameter generalization. The resulting class of distributions is able to…
It is well-known that the partition function can consistently be factorized from the canonical equilibrium distribution obtained through the maximization of the Shannon entropy. We show that such a normalized and factorized equilibrium…
Quite general, analytical (both exact and approximate) forms for discrete probability distributions (PD's) that maximize Tsallis entropy for a fixed variance are here investigated. They apply, for instance, in a wide variety of scenarios in…
There is a conception that Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics cannot yield the long tail distribution. This is the justification for the intensive research of nonextensive entropies (i.e. Tsallis entropy and others). Here the error that caused this…
Statistical mechanics is generalized on the basis of an additive information theory for incomplete probability distributions. The incomplete normalization $\sum_{i=1}^wp_i^q=1$ is used to obtain generalized entropy $S=-k\sum_{i=1}^wp_i^q\ln…
We discuss a Tsallis distribution with complex nonextensivity parameter $q$. In this case the usual distribution is decorated with a log-periodic oscillating factor (apparently, such oscillations can bee seen in recently measured transverse…

The standard formulation of thermostatistics, being based on the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution and logarithmic Shannon entropy, describes idealized uncorrelated systems with extensive energies and short-range interactions. In this letter, we…
