Kaniadakis statistics (also known as ú-statistics) is a generalization of BoltzmannâÂÂGibbsàstatistical mechanics, based on a relativistic generalization of the classical BoltzmannâÂÂGibbsâÂÂShannon entropy (commonly referred to as Kaniadakis entropy or ú-entropy). Introduced by the Greek Italian physicist Giorgio Kaniadakis in 2001, ú-statistical mechanics preserve the main features of ordinary statistical mechanics and have attracted the interest of many researchers in recent years. The ú-distribution is currently considered one of the most viable candidates for explaining complex physical, natural or artificial systems involving power-law tailed statistical distributions. Kaniadakis statistics have been adopted successfully in the description of a variety of systems in the fields of cosmology, astrophysics, condensed matter, quantum physics, seismology, genomics, economics, epidemiology, and many others.
The mathematical formalism of ú-statistics is generated by ú-deformed functions, especially the ú-exponential function.

A Kaniadakis distribution (or ú-distribution) is a probability distribution derived from the maximization of Kaniadakis entropy under appropriate constraints. In this regard, several probability distributions emerge for analyzing a wide variety of phenomenology associated with experimental power-law tailed statistical distributions.
