Entropies of deformed binomial distributions

Abstract

Asymptotic behavior (with respect to the number of trials) of symmetric generalizations of binomial distributions and their related entropies are studied through three examples. The first one derives from the q-exponential as a generating function. The second one involves the modified Abel polynomials, and the third one involves Hermite polynomials. The former and the latter have extensive Boltzmann-Gibbs whereas the second one (Abel) has extensive Renyi entropy. A probabilistic model is presented for this exceptional case.
