1. Introduction
Information geometry as a famed theory in geometry is a gadget to peruse spaces including of probability measures. Nowadays, this interdisciplinary field as a combination of differential geometry and statistics has impressive role in various science. For instance, a manifold learning theory in a hypothesis space consisting of models is developed in [
12]. The semi-Riemannian metric of this hypothesis space is uniquely derived relied on the information geometry of the probability distributions. In [
2], Amari also presented the geometrical and statistical ideas for investigating neural networks including invisible units or unobservable variables. To see more applications of this geometry in other sciences, can be referred to [
5,
8].
Suppose that

is a sample space with parameter
. A statistical model
S is the set of probability density functions defined by
The Fisher information matrix
on
S is given as
where

,
and
. The space
S with together the information matrices is a statistical manifold.
In 1920, Fisher was the first one who offered (
1) as a mathematical purpose of information (see [
9]). It is observed that

g are converging to real numbers and
g is positive-definite. So
g is called a Fisher metric on
S. Using

Nearly Kähler structures on Riemannian manifolds were specified by Gray [
10] to describe an especial class of almost Hermitian structures in every even dimension. As an odd-dimensional peer of nearly Kähler manifolds, nearly Sasakian manifolds were introduced by Blair, Yano and Showers in [
7]. They presented that a normal nearly Sasakian structure is Sasakian and a hypersurface of a nearly Kähler structure is nearly Sasakian if and only if it is quasi-umbilical with the (almost) contact form. In particular,
properly imbedded in
inherits a nearly Sasakian structure which is not Sasakian.
A statistical manifold can be considered as an expanse of a Riemannian manifold such that the compatibility of the Riemannian metric is developed to a general condition. Applying this opinion in geometry, we create a convenient nearly Sasakian structure on statistical structures and define a nearly Sasakian statistical manifold.
The purpose of this paper is to present nearly Sasakian and nearly Kähler structures on statistical manifolds and show the relation between two geometric notions. To achieve this goal, the notions and attributes of statistical manifolds are obtained in
Section 2. In
Section 3, we describe a nearly Sasakian structure on statistical manifolds and give some properties of them. In
Section 4, we investigate nearly Kähler structures on statistical manifolds. In this context the conditions for a real hypersurface in a nearly Kähler statistical manifold to admit a nearly Sasakian statistical structure are given. Section 6 is devoted to study (anti-)invariant statistical submanifolds of nearly Sasakian statistical manifolds. Some conditions under which an invariant submanifold of a nearly Sasakian statistical manifold is itself a nearly Sasakian statistical manifold are given at the end.
