Order Statistics Based Measure of Past Entropy
Abstract:
In this paper, we have proposed a measure of past entropy based on order statistics. We have studied this measure for some specific lifetime distributions. A Characterization result for the proposed measure has also been discussed and also and an upper bound for this measure has been derived.
