On Weighted Residual and Past Entropies

TLDR
In this paper, a "length-biased" shift-dependent information measure, related to the differential entropy in which higher weight is assigned to large values of observed random variables is introduced.
Abstract
We consider a "length-biased" shift-dependent information measure, related to the differential entropy in which higher weight is assigned to large values of observed random variables This allows us to introduce the notions of "weighted residual entropy" and "weighted past entropy", that are suitable to describe dynamic information of random lifetimes, in analogy with the entropies of residual and past lifetimes introduced in [9] and [6], respectively The obtained results include their behaviors under monotonic transformations

Weighted Fractional Generalized Cumulative Past Entropy

TL;DR: In this article, the weighted fractional generalized cumulative past entropy of a nonnegative absolutely continuous random variable with bounded support is introduced. But the proposed measure is not suitable for the proportional reversed hazard rate models.

On the weighted dynamic cumulative residual entropy and dynamic cumulative past entropy with applications: A survey

TL;DR: The main measure of the uncertainty contained in random variable X is the Shannon entropy H(X) = −E(log(f(X)), and weighted residual entropy and weighted cumulative residual entropy are discussed.

Entropy-based measure of uncertainty in past lifetime distributions

TL;DR: A dual characterization of life distributions that is based on entropy applied to the past lifetime is analyzed, including its connection with the residual entropy, the relation between its increasing nature and the DRFR property, and the effect of monotonic transformations on it.

New partial ordering of survival functions based on the notion of uncertainty

TL;DR: A new partial ordering among life distributions in terms of their uncertainties is introduced, and the notion of a ‘better system' is introduced based on this ordering and various existing orderings.

Some results on residual entropy function

TL;DR: The authors proposed the Shannon residual entropy as a dynamic measure of uncertainty and used it to define a stochastic order and two classes of distributions, DURL and IURL, and obtained new results on this function and corrected some mistakes in preceding literature.

A measure of discrimination between past lifetime distributions

TL;DR: In this article, a measure of discrepancy between past-life distributions is proposed, based on Kullback-Leibler discrimination information and of discrimination information introduced by Ebrahimi and Kirmani.
