Q-exponential distributions play an important role in nonextensive statistics. They appear as the canonical distributions, i.e. the maximum generalized q-entropy distributions under mean constraint. Their relevance is also independently justified by their appearance in the theory of...

Arrays allow simultaneous measurements of the expression levels of thousands of mRNAs. By mining this data one can identify sets of genes with similar profiles. We show that information theoretic methods are capable of modeling and assessing dissimilarities between the dynamics underlying to the...
