Duality for real and multivariate exponential families

Published 12 Apr 2021 in math.PR | (2104.05510v2)

Abstract: Consider a measure $\mu$ on $\Rn$ generating a natural exponential family $F(\mu)$ with variance function $V_{F(\mu)}(m)$ and Laplace transform $$ \exp(\ell_{\mu}(s))=\int_{\Rn} \exp(-<s,x>)\mu(dx).$$ A dual measure $\mu*$ satisfies $-\ell'{\mu*}(-\ell'{\mu}(s))=s.$ Such a dual measure does not always exist. One important property is $\ell"{\mu*}(m)=(V{F(\mu)}(m)){-1},$ leading to the notion of duality among exponential families (or rather among the extended notion of T exponential families $T\hskip-2pt F$ obtained by considering all translations of a given exponential family $F$).
