Some characterization results on generalized cumulative residual entropy measure

The cumulative residual entropy (CRE) has been found to be a new measure of information that parallels Shannon entropy, refer to Rao etÂ al. (2004). In this paper we study a generalized cumulative residual information measure based on Verma's entropy function and a dynamic version of it. The exponential, Pareto and finite range distributions, which are commonly used in reliability modeling, have been characterized using this generalized measure.
