Abstract:   (11570 Views)

In this paper, the quantile function is recalled and some reliability measures are rewritten in terms of quantile function. Next, quantile based dynamic cumulative residual entropy is obtained and some of its properties are presented. Then, some characterization results of uniform, exponential and Pareto distributions based on quantile based dynamic cumulative entropy are provided. A simple estimator is also proposed and its performance is studied for exponential distribution. Finally discussion and results are presented.

Keywords: Shannon entropy, Dynamic cumulative residual entropy, Quantile function, Reliability measures, Characterization
