Comment on “Critique of multinomial coefficient method for evaluating Tsallis and Rényi entropies” by A.S. Parvan

Parvan [A.S. Parvan, Critique of multinomial coefficients method for evaluating Tsallis and Rényi entropies, Physica A 389 (2010) 5645] has recently presented some calculations in order to demonstrate the incorrectness of the results obtained from the generalized multinomial coefficients (GMC) presented in Oikonomou (2007) [1]. According to Parvan, the aforementioned approach of studying maximum entropy probability distributions is erroneous. In this comment I demonstrate that Parvan’s arguments do not hold true and that the obtained results from GMC do not present either mathematical or physical discrepancies.
