The negation of probability distribution becomes an important topic since some problems are burdensome to deal with directly. Inspired by Yager's negation of probability distribution, an extension model to measure the negation of a probability distribution is proposed using the idea of a nonextensive statistic based on Tsallis entropy. Proofs show that the proposed extension of negation of probability distribution converges to the maximum Tsallis entropy. The proposed model may extend Yager's method to consider the influences of the correlations in a system, which gives the different convergent routes. Some numerical simulation results are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
