Deformed Statistics Kullback-Leibler Divergence Minimization within a Scaled Bregman Framework
arXiv:1102.1025 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2011.09.021
Abstract
The generalized Kullback-Leibler divergence (K-Ld) in Tsallis statistics [constrained by the additive duality of generalized statistics (dual generalized K-Ld)] is here reconciled with the theory of Bregman divergences for expectations defined by normal averages, within a measure-theoretic framework. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the dual generalized K-Ld is a scaled Bregman divergence. The Pythagorean theorem is derived from the minimum discrimination information-principle using the dual generalized K-Ld as the measure of uncertainty, with constraints defined by normal averages. The minimization of the dual generalized K-Ld, with normal averages constraints, is shown to exhibit distinctly unique features.
