Central limit theorem, deformed exponentials and superstatistics
Abstract
Description
We show that there exists a very natural, superstatistics-linked extension of the central limit theorem (CLT) to deformed exponentials (also called q-Gaussians): This generalization favorably compares with the one provided by S. Umarov and C. Tsallis [arXiv:cond-mat/0703533], since the latter requires a special "q-independence" condition on the data. On the contrary, our CLT proposal applies exactly in the usual conditions in which the classical CLT is used. Moreover, we show that, asymptotically, the q-independence condition is naturally induced by our version of the CLT.
