Examples of Application of Nonparametric Information Geometry to Statistical Physics

Abstract

We review a nonparametric version of Amari's Information Geometry in which the set of positive probability densities on a given sample space is endowed with an atlas of charts to form a differentiable manifold modeled on Orlicz Banach spaces. This nonparametric setting is used to discuss the setting of typical problems in Machine Learning and Statistical Physics, such as relaxed optimization, Kullback-Leibler divergence, Boltzmann entropy, Boltzmann equation
