Abstract

The generalized binomial distribution in Tsallis statistics (power-law system) is explicitly formulated from the precise q-Stirling's formula. The alpha-divergence (or q-divergence) is uniquely derived from the generalized binomial distribution in the sense that when q->-1 (i.e., q->1) it recovers KL divergence obtained from the standard binomial distribution. Based on these combinatorial considerations, it is shown that alpha-divergence (or q-divergence) is appeared as the generalized rate function in the large deviation estimate in Tsallis statistics.
