You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[mathematics]], a '''statistical manifold''' is a [[Riemannian manifold]], each of whose points is a [[probability distribution]].  Statistical manifolds provide a setting for the field of [[information geometry]].  The [[Fisher information metric]] provides a [[Metric tensor|metric]] on these manifolds. Following this definition, the [[log-likelihood function]] is a [[differentiable map]] and the [[Score (statistics)|score]] is an [[Inclusion map|inclusion]].<ref>((cite book |first1=Michael K. |last1=Murray |first2=John W. |last2=Rice |chapter=The definition of a statistical manifold |title=Differential Geometry and Statistics |publisher=Chapman & Hall |year=1993 |pages=76–77 |isbn=0-412-39860-5 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZBa7F9LrDrMC&pg=PA76 ))</ref>

==Examples==

The family of all [[normal distribution]]s can be thought of as a 2-dimensional parametric space parametrized by the [[expected value]] ''&mu;'' and the [[variance]] ''σ''<sup>2</sup>&nbsp;≥&nbsp;0. Equipped with the [[Riemannian metric]] given by the [[Fisher information]] matrix, it is a statistical manifold with a geometry modeled on [[hyperbolic space]]. A way of picturing the manifold is done by inferring the parametric equations via the Fisher Information rather than starting from the likelihood-function.

A simple example of a statistical manifold, taken from physics, would be the [[canonical ensemble]]: it is a one-dimensional manifold, with the [[temperature]] ''T'' serving as the coordinate on the manifold.  For any fixed temperature ''T'', one has a probability space: so, for a gas of atoms, it would be the probability distribution of the velocities of the atoms.  As one varies the temperature ''T'', the probability distribution varies.

Another simple example, taken from medicine, would be the probability distribution of patient outcomes, in response to the quantity of medicine administered.  That is, for a fixed dose, some patients improve, and some do not: this is the base probability space. If the dosage is varied, then the probability of outcomes changes.  Thus, the dosage is the coordinate on the manifold.   To be a [[smooth manifold]], one would have to measure outcomes in response to arbitrarily small changes in dosage; this is not a practically realizable example, unless one has a pre-existing mathematical model of dose-response where the dose can be arbitrarily varied.

== Definition ==
Let ''X'' be an [[orientable manifold]], and let <math>(X,\Sigma,\mu)</math> be a [[measure space|measure]] on ''X''. Equivalently, let <math>(\Omega, \mathcal{F},P)</math> be a [[probability space]] on <math>\Omega=X</math>, with [[sigma algebra]] <math>\mathcal{F}=\Sigma</math> and probability <math>P=\mu</math>.

The statistical manifold ''S''(''X'') of ''X'' is defined as the space of all measures <math>\mu</math> on ''X'' (with the sigma-algebra <math>\Sigma</math> held fixed).  Note that this space is infinite-dimensional; it is commonly taken to be a [[Fréchet space]].  The points of ''S''(''X'') are measures.

Rather than dealing with an infinite-dimensional space ''S''(''X''), it is common to work with a finite-dimensional [[submanifold]], defined by considering a set of [[probability distribution]]s parameterized by some smooth, continuously varying parameter <math>\theta</math>. That is, one considers only those measures that are selected by the parameter. If the parameter <math>\theta</math> is ''n''-dimensional, then, in general, the submanifold will be as well.  All finite-dimensional statistical manifolds can be understood in this way.((clarify|reason = definition above says that all manifolds are infinite-dimensional, so there can't be any finite-dimensional ones|date=July 2012))
