By combining information science and differential geometry, information geometry provides a geometric method to measure the differences in the time evolution of the statistical states in a stochastic process. Specifically, the so-called information l...
The method of maximum entropy is used to model curved physical space in terms of points defined with a finite resolution. Such a blurred space is automatically endowed with a metric given by information geometry. The corresponding space-time is such...
Information Geometry conflicts with the independence that is required for science and for rational inference generally.
We prove the correspondence between the information geometry of a signal filter and a Kähler manifold. The information geometry of a minimum-phase linear system with a finite complex cepstrum norm is a Kähler manifold. The square of the complex cepst...
