has gloss | eng: The Tsallis distribution, also kown as a q-Gaussian, is a probability distribution arising from the optimisation of the Tsallis entropy. It is essentially a simple reparametrization of the Students t-distribution introduced by W. Gosset in 1908 to describe small sample statistics. In Gossets original presentation the degrees of freedom parameter \nu was constrained to be a positive integer related to the sample size, but it is readily observed that Gosset's density function is valid for all real values of \nu . The reparametrization introduces the alternative parameter q related to \nu by |
