Information theory and generalized statistics

Petr Jizba

Published 2003-01-20Version 1

We present a discussion of generalized statistics based on Renyi's, Fisher's and Tsallis's measures of information. The unifying conceptual framework which we employ here is provided by information theory. Important applications of generalized statistics to systems with (multi-)fractal structure are examined.
