On a convergence property of a geometrical algorithm for statistical manifolds

In this paper, we examine a geometrical projection algorithm for statistical inference. The algorithm is based on Pythagorean relation and it is derivative-free as well as representation-free that is useful in nonparametric cases. We derive a bound of learning rate to guarantee local convergence. In special cases of m-mixture and e-mixture estimation problems, we calculate specific forms of the bound that can be used easily in practice.
