Abstract: By using a functional of probability distributions, several different statistical physics including extensive and nonextensive statistics are unified in a general formalism. It’s shown that the equivalence between the Maxent approach and the relation dU=TdS can be seen from the virtual work principle of mechanics. From dU=TdS, any entropic form which can exists for thermodynamical equilibrium system can be maximized in order to derive the probability distribution functions.
