$\kappa$-generalization of Gauss' law of error

Abstract

Based on the $\kappa$-deformed functions ($\kappa$-exponential and $\kappa$-logarithm) and associated multiplication operation ($\kappa$-product) introduced by Kaniadakis (Phys. Rev. E \textbf{66} (2002) 056125), we present another one-parameter generalization of Gauss' law of error. The likelihood function in Gauss' law of error is generalized by means of the $\kappa$-product. This $\kappa$-generalized maximum likelihood principle leads to the {\it so-called} $\kappa$-Gaussian distributions.
