κ-generalization of Gauss' law of error

Abstract: Based on the κ-deformed functions (κ-exponential and κ-logarithm) and associated multiplication operation (κ-product) introduced by Kaniadakis (Phys. Rev. E 66 (2002) 056125), we present another one-parameter generalization of Gauss' law of error. The likelihood function in Gauss' law of error is generalized by means of the κ-product. This κ-generalized maximum likelihood principle leads to the so-called κ-Gaussian distributions.

“…The statistical correlations among events are taken into account by means of a suitable composition law (a deformed product), which arise in a natural way in the framework of the generalized statistical mechanics [9][10][11] and could play a role in the foundations of these theories [12][13][14]. The results presented in this work unify some already known one-parameter generalizations of Gauss' law of error [15,16], together with the original Gauss' derivation which is now recovered as a particular case. The paper is organized as follows.…”

“…The corresponding distribution error is provided by a generalized Gaussian, which exhibits an asymptotic power-law behavior different from the exponential one of the standard Gaussian distribution. As a by product, we have presented a unique mechanism which joins, in a unified model, several derivation of generalized distributions' error already presented in literature [15,16]. The original Gauss' derivation is now recovered as a special limit corresponding to statistically independent measurements.…”
