Dually affine Information Geometry modeled on a Banach space (2204.00917v2)

Abstract: In this chapter, we study Information Geometry from a particular non-parametric or functional point of view. The basic model is a probabilities subset usually specified by regularity conditions. For example, probability measures mutually absolutely continuous or probability densities with a given degree of smoothness. We construct a manifold structure by giving an atlas of charts as mappings from probabilities to a Banach space. The charts we use are quite peculiar in that we consider only instances where the transition mappings are affine. We chose a particular expression of the tangent and cotangent bundles in this affine setting.
