The generalised maximum α entropy principle

Generalisations of maximum entropy principle (MEP) and minimum discrimination information principle (MDIP) are described by Kapur and Kesavan (1989) . In this paper, we used generalised entropies and replaced Shannon entropy with Tsallis entropy when α = 2 . The generalisation has been achieved by the entropy maximisation postulate and examining its consequences . The inverse principles which are inherent in the maximum α entropy and minimum discrimination α entropy are made in the new methodology.
