The Fisher information metric or the Fisher-Rao metric corresponds to a natural Riemannian metric defined on a parameterized family of probability density functions. As in the case of Riemannian geometry, we can define a distance in terms of the Fisher information metric, called the Fisher-Rao distance. The Fisher information metric has a wide range of applications in estimation and information theories. Indeed, it provides the most informative Cramer-Rao bound for an unbiased estimator. The Goldberg conjecture is a well-known unsolved problem which states that any compact Einstein almost Kähler manifold is necessarily a Kähler-Einstein. Note that, there is also a known odd-dimensional analog of the Goldberg conjecture in the literature. The main objective of this paper is to establish a new characterization of coKähler manifolds and Kähler manifolds; our characterization is statistical in nature. Finally, we corroborate that every, Kähler and co-Kähler manifolds, can be viewed as being a parametric family of probability density functions, whereas Kähler and coKähler metrics can be regarded as Fisher information metrics. In particular, we prove that, when the Kähler metric is real analytic, it is always locally the Fisher information of an exponential family. We also tackle the link between Kähler potential and Kullback-Leibler divergence.
