In this q-deformed coordinate space, the commutator remains invariant namely [xq, pq] = iħ. By taking advantage of these q-deformed variables, one gets to a q-deformed exponential function expq(x) as well as its corresponding q-deformed logarithm function lnq(x). From these q-deformed mathematical relations and from the fact that thermodynamic properties such as the internal energy U, entropy S, free energy F, heat capacity C, and others are related to the partition function Z and ln(Z), it is proposed their generalizations in terms of the q-deformed exponential and q-deformed logarithmic functions. As a result, the structure of Legendre transformations between these statistical properties remains invariant. The usefulness of the proposal is exemplified by considering two specific position-dependent mass distributions. In the same way, other possibilities could be used to generalize the statistical properties straightforwardly.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
