A certain class of information geometric structure can be conformally transformed to dually flat one. This paper studies the transformation on the probability simplex from a viewpoint ofaffine differential geometryand provides its applications. By restricting affine immersions with certain conditions, the probability simplex is realized to be 1-conformally flat statistical manifolds immersed in. Using this fact, we introduce a concept ofconformal flatteningfor such manifolds in order to obtain the corresponding dually flat statistical (Hessian) ones with conformal divergences, and show explicit forms of potential functions and affine coordinates. Finally, we demonstrate applications of the flattening to nonextensive statistical physics, Voronoi partitions and weighted centroids on the probability simplex with respect togeometric divergences, which are not necessarily of Bregman type.
