Abstract: A dualistic structure on a smooth Riemaniann manifold $M$ is a triple $(M,g,abla)$ with $g$ a Riemaniann metric and $abla$ an affine connection, generally assumed to be torsionless. From $g$ and $abla$, the dual connection $abl{a}^{\ast }$ can be defined and the triple $(M,abla,abl{a}^{\ast })$ is called a statistical manifold, a basic object in information geometry. In this work, we give conditions based on this notion for a manifold to admit an almost contact structure and some related structures: almost contact metric,contact, contact metric, cosymplectic, and coK"ahler in the three-dimensional case.
