| Abstract: | In the present paper, we introduce and study Renyi's information measure (entropy) for residual lifetime distributions. It
is shown that the proposed measure uniquely determines the distribution. We present characterizations for some lifetime models.
Further, we define two new classes of life distributions based on this measure. Various properties of these classes are also
given. |
