Abstract: We define a metric and a family of $alpha$-connections in statistical manifolds, based on $varphi$-divergence, which emerges in the framework of $varphi$-families of probability distributions. This metric and $alpha$-connections generalize the Fisher information metric and Amari's $alpha$-connections. We also investigate the parallel transport associated with the $alpha$-connection for $alpha=1$.
