This is a review of the ideas behind the Fisher--Rao metric on classical probability distributions, and how they generalize to metrics on density matrices. As is well known, the unique Fisher--Rao metric then becomes a large family of…

We develope a new and general notion of parametric measure models and statistical models on an arbitrary sample space $\Omega$ which does not assume that all measures of the model have the same null sets. This is given by a diffferentiable…

The Fisher-Shannon statistical measure of complexity is analyzed for a continuous manifold of quantum observables. It is probed then than calculating it only in the configuration and momentum spaces will not give a complete description for…

We introduce and discuss the notion of monotonicity for the complexity measures of general probability distributions, patterned after the resource theory of quantum entanglement. Then, we explore whether this property is satisfied by the…

The Fisher's information metric is introduced in order to find the real meaning of the probability distribution in classical and quantum systems described by Riemaniann non-degenerated superspaces. In particular, the physical r\^{o}le…

Information geometry provides a geometric approach to families of statistical models. The key geometric structures are the Fisher quadratic form and the Amari-Chentsov tensor. In statistics, the notion of sufficient statistic expresses the…

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…

We demonstrate --- using the case of the two-dimensional quantum systems --- that the "natural measure on the space of density matrices describing N-dimensional quantum systems" proposed by Zyczkowski et al (quant-ph/9804024) does not…

We show that, in finite dimensions, the only monotone metrics for which the (+1) and (-1) affine connections are mutually dual are constant multiples of Bogoliubov-Kubo-Mori metric

These notes review the theory of Fisher information, especially its use in kinetic theory of gases and plasmas. The recent monotonicity theorem by Guillen--Silvestre for the Landau--Coulomb equation is put in perspective and generalised.…

We introduce a concept of distance for a space-time where the notion of point is replaced by the notion of physical states e.g. probability distributions. We apply ideas of information theory and compute the Fisher information matrix on…

The Fisher metric on a manifold of probability distributions is usually treated as a metric on the tangent bundle. In this paper, we focus on the metric on the cotangent bundle induced from the Fisher metric with calling it the Fisher…

Given a pure state vector |x> and a density matrix rho, the function p(x|rho)=<x|rho|x> defines a probability density on the space of pure states parameterised by density matrices. The associated Fisher-Rao information measure is used to…

On a closed manifold of dimension greater than one, every smooth weak Riemannian metric on the space of smooth positive probability densities, that is invariant under the action of the diffeomorphism group, is a multiple of the Fisher--Rao…

Variance and Fisher information are ingredients of the Cramer-Rao inequality. We regard Fisher information as a Riemannian metric on a quantum statistical manifold and choose monotonicity under coarse graining as the fundamental property of…

Given a probability measure with density, Fermat distances and density-driven metrics are conformal transformations of the Euclidean metric that shrink distances in high density areas and enlarge distances in low density areas. Although…
