A statistical complexity measure with nonextensive entropy and quasi-multiplicativityWe discuss the Tsallis entropy in finite N-unit nonextensive systems by using the multivariate q-Gaussian probability distribution functions ͑PDFs͒ derived by the maximum entropy methods with the normal average and the q-average ͑q: the entropic index͒. The Tsallis entropy obtained by the q-average has an exponential N dependence:In contrast, the Tsallis entropy obtained by the normal average is given by S q ͑N͒ / N Ӎ͓1 / ͑q −1͒N͔ for large N ͑ӷ1 / ͑q −1͒ Ͼ 0͒. N dependences of the Tsallis entropy obtained by the q-and normal averages are generally quite different, although both results are in fairly good agreement for ͉q −1͉ Ӷ 1.0. The validity of the factorization approximation ͑FA͒ to PDFs, which has been commonly adopted in the literature, has been examined. We have calculated correlations defined byand the bracket ͗ · ͘ stands for the normal and q-averages. The first-order correlation ͑m =1͒ expresses the intrinsic correlation and higher-order correlations with m Ն 2 include nonextensivity-induced correlation, whose physical origin is elucidated in the superstatistics.
