Riemann-Finsler geometry with applications to information geometry (Q2431981)

Information geometry is a theory connecting statistics with differential geometry. The paper under review presents several elements from Finsler geometry that can be put at the basis of information geometry. For example, the spray geometry provided by Finsler spaces seems to offer the so-called regular models of divergence spaces. Specializing to the space of probability distributions, the author treats three remarkable models: the exponential distributions, the Gaussian distributions and the gamma distributions.
