A Riemannian geometry in the q-Exponential Banach manifold induced by q-Divergences

Abstract

For the family of non-parametric q-exponential statistical models, in a former paper, written by the same authors, a differentiable Banach manifold modelled on Lebesgue spaces of real random variables has been built -- In this paper, the geometry induced on this manifold is characterized by q-divergence functionals -- This geometry turns out to be a generalization of the geometry given by Fisher information metric and Levi-Civita connections -- Moreover, the classical Amari´s α-connections appears as special case of the q−connections (q) -- The main result is the expected one, namely the zero curvature of the manifold
