Statistical tangent space (source code)

= Statistical tangent space
{title2=$\overline{\operatorname{span}}\dot{\mathcal P}_P$}

The statistical tangent space is the closed linear span in <L2 space> of a <statistical tangent set>. Taking this closure makes <orthogonal projection> available and ensures that a continuous <derivative> specified on attainable <score functions> extends to the whole space.
