A closed-form expression for the Sharma-Mittal entropy of exponential families

arXiv:1112.4221 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/45/3/032003

Abstract

The Sharma-Mittal entropies generalize the celebrated Shannon, Rényi and Tsallis entropies. We report a closed-form formula for the Sharma-Mittal entropies and relative entropies for arbitrary exponential family distributions. We instantiate explicitly the formula for the case of the multivariate Gaussian distributions and discuss on its estimation.
