The Tsallis distribution is a probability distribution that arises from the generalized statistical mechanics framework proposed by the Brazilian physicist Constantino Tsallis. It generalizes the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, which are applicable in traditional thermodynamics, to systems that exhibit non-extensive behavior. This non-extensive behavior often arises in complex systems, such as those found in fractals, socio-economic systems, and some biological systems.
