We define a metric and a family of α-connections in statistical manifolds, based on ϕ-divergence, which emerges in the framework of ϕ-families of probability distributions. This metric and α-connections generalize the Fisher information metric and Amari’s α-connections. We also investigate the parallel transport associated with the α-connection for α = 1.
