We address an information-theoretic approach to noise and disturbance in quantum measurements. Properties of corresponding probability distributions are characterized by means of both the R\'{e}nyi and Tsallis entropies. Related…
Entropies must correspond to mean values for them to be measurable. The Shannon entropy corresponds to the weighted arithmetic mean, whereas the Renyi entropy corresponds to the exponential mean. These means refer to code lengths, which are…
The Shannon entropy is a widely used summary statistic, for example, network traffic measurement, anomaly detection, neural computations, spike trains, etc. This study focuses on estimating Shannon entropy of data streams. It is known that…
The increased uncertainty and complexity of nonlinear systems have motivated investigators to consider generalized approaches to defining an entropy function. New insights are achieved by defining the average uncertainty in the probability…
Several years ago, it has been discussed that non-logarithmic entropies such as the Tsallis q-entropy cannot be applied to systems with continuous variables. Now, in their recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 97, 012104 (2018)], Oikonomou and Bagci…
Statistical formulations of thermodynamic entropy, such as those by Boltzmann and Gibbs, were originally developed for classical systems and are well understood in that context. However, the foundational aspects of quantum statistical…
In this short paper, we establish a variational expression of the Tsallis relative entropy. In addition, we derive a generalized thermodynamic inequality and a generalized Peierls-Bogoliubov inequality. Finally we give a generalized…
Tsallis entropy is a generalized diversity index first derived in Patil and Taillie (1982) and then rediscovered in community ecology by Keylock (2005). Bayesian nonparametric estimation of Shannon entropy and Simpson's diversity under…
Quantum information measures such as the entropy and the mutual information find applications in physics, e.g., as correlation measures. Generalizing such measures based on the R\'enyi entropies is expected to enhance their scope in…
We show that in the continuum limit, the average spectrum method (ASM) is equivalent to maximizing R\'enyi entropies of order $\eta$, of which Shannon entropy is the special case $\eta=1$. The order of R\'enyi entropy is determined by the…
We consider the generalized differential entropy of normalized sums of independent and identically distributed (IID) continuous random variables. We prove that the R\'{e}nyi entropy and Tsallis entropy of order $\alpha\ (\alpha>0)$ of the…
We define an entropy based on a chosen governing probability distribution. If a certain kind of measurements follow such a distribution it also gives us a suitable scale to study it with. This scale will appear as a link function that is…
The proper way of averaging is an important question with regards to Tsallis' Thermostatistics. Three different procedures have been thus far employed in the pertinent literature. The third one, i.e., the Tsallis-Mendes-Plastino (TMP)…
Thermodynamic entropy, as defined by Clausius, characterizes macroscopic observations of a system based on phenomenological quantities such as temperature and heat. In contrast, information-theoretic entropy, introduced by Shannon, is a…
The entropy shows an unavoidable tendency of disorder in thermostatistics according to the second thermodynamics law. This provides a minimization entropy principle for quantum thermostatistics with the von Neumann entropy and nonextensive…
Many common probability distributions in statistics like the Gaussian, multinomial, Beta or Gamma distributions can be studied under the unified framework of exponential families. In this paper, we prove that both R\'enyi and Tsallis…
A formal correspondence between the q-distribution obtained from the Tsallis entropy and non-maxwellian distributions obtained from the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy is afforded.
Plastino, Rocca and Pennini [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{94} (2016) 012145] recently stated that the R\'enyi entropy is not suitable for thermodynamics by using functional calculus, since it leads to anomalous results unlike the Tsallis entropy.…
Divergences often play important roles for study in information science so that it is indispensable to investigate their fundamental properties. There is also a mathematical significance of such results. In this paper, we introduce some…
The general formalisms of the $q$-dual statistics, the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, and three versions of the Tsallis statistics known as Tsallis-1, Tsallis-2, and Tsallis-3 statistics have been considered in the canonical ensemble. We have…
