Chentsov's theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Chentsov’s theorem)

In information geometry, Chentsov's theorem states that the Fisher information metric is, up to rescaling, the unique Riemannian metric on a statistical manifold that is invariant under sufficient statistics.

The theorem is named after its inventor Nikolai Chentsov
