Different quantities that go by the name of entropy are used in variational principles to infer probability distributions from limited data. Shore and Johnson showed that maximizing the Boltzmann- Gibbs form of the entropy ensures that…
A method of estimating the joint probability mass function of a pair of discrete random variables is described. This estimator is used to construct the conditional Shannon-R\'eyni-Tsallis entropies estimates. From there almost sure rates of…
The nonadditive entropy introduced by Tsallis in 1988 has been used in different fields and generalizes the Boltzmann entropy extending the possibilities of application of the statistical methods developed in the context of Mechanics. Here…
The Renyi entropy is a generalization of the usual concept of entropy which depends on a parameter q. In fact, Renyi entropy is closely related to free energy. Suppose we start with a system in thermal equilibrium and then suddenly divide…
Numerical experiments support the interesting conjecture that statistical methods be applicable not only to fully-chaotic systems, but also at the edge of chaos by using Tsallis' generalizations of the standard exponential and entropy. In…
Within the Tsallis thermodynamics' framework, and using scaling properties of the entropy, we derive a generalization of the Gibbs-Duhem equation. The analysis suggests a transformation of variables that allows standard thermodynamics to be…
This article proposes a new two-parameter generalized entropy, which can be reduced to the Tsallis and the Shannon entropy for specific values of its parameters. We develop a number of information-theoretic properties of this generalized…
We show that Tsallis ensemble of power-law distributions provides a mechanical model of nonextensive equilibrium thermodynamics for small interacting Hamiltonian systems, i.e., using Boltzmann's original nomenclature, we prove that it is an…
The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, using the maximization of entropy. In…
The nonextensive one-dimensional version of a hydrodynamical model for multiparticle production processes is proposed and discussed. It is based on nonextensive statistics assumed in the form proposed by Tsallis and characterized by a…
The entropy of probability distribution defined by Shannon has several extensions. R\'enyi entropy is one of the general extensions of Shannon entropy and is widely used in engineering, physics, and so on. On the other hand, the quantum…
A common statistical situation concerns inferring an unknown distribution Q(x) from a known distribution P(y), where X (dimension n), and Y (dimension m) have a known functional relationship. Most commonly, n<m, and the task is relatively…
We adapt the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy to the non-extensive perspective recently advocated by Tsallis. The resulting expression is an average on the invariant distribution, which should be used to detect the genuine entropic index Q. We…
We discuss some properties of the generalized entropies, called Renyi entropies and their application to the case of continuous distributions. In particular it is shown that these measures of complexity can be divergent, however, their…
A novel, non-trivial, probabilistic upper bound on the entropy of an unknown one-dimensional distribution, given the support of the distribution and a sample from that distribution, is presented. No knowledge beyond the support of the…
It is shown that Lesche's conclusions on instability of the Renyi entropy are the same for the Tsallis entropy, as well. Moreover, they are unjustified for both entropies.
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…
The property of Tsallis entropy is examined when considering tow systems with different temperatures to be in contact with each other and to reach the thermal equilibrium. It is verified that the total Tsallis entropy of the two systems…
Algorithmic entropy and Shannon entropy are two conceptually different information measures, as the former is based on size of programs and the later in probability distributions. However, it is known that, for any recursive probability…
Relative entropy is a measure of distinguishability for quantum states, and plays a central role in quantum information theory. The family of Renyi entropies generalizes to Renyi relative entropies that include as special cases most entropy…
