Abstract

The Fisher information matrix plays a significant role in statistical inference in connection with estimation and properties of variance of estimators. In this paper, we define the parameter space of the t-manifold using its Fisher's matrix and characterize the t-manifold from the viewpoint of information geometry. The ${\alpha}$ -scalar curvatures to the t-manifold are calculated.

Keywords

${\alpha}$ -connection; ${\alpha}$ -scalar curvature;
