Tsallis Distribution

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Tsallis distribution, also kown as a q-Gaussian, is a probability distribution arising from the optimisation of the Tsallis entropy. It is essentially a simple reparametrization of the Student's t-distribution introduced by W. Gosset in 1908 to describe small sample statistics. In Gosset's original presentation the degrees of freedom parameter ¿ was constrained to be a positive integer related to the sample size, but it is readily observed that Gosset's density function is valid for all real values of ¿.
