| Abstract: | In a class of density functions with parameter λ > 0 , which includes Weibull and Gamma distributions, three distance measures are examined. Several properties of these measures and relationships between them are proved. Furthermore the exponential distribution is characterized in a one- parameter class of Weibull distributions. |
