A new kind of entropy will be introduced generalizing both the differential entropy and the cumulative (residual) entropy. The generalization is twofold. Firstly, we define the entropy for cumulative distribution functions (cdf) and survivor functions (sf) simultaneously instead of densities,...

The efficiency of some known tests for symmetry such as the sign test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or more general linear signed rank tests was studied mainly under the classical alternatives of location. However it is interesting to compare the efficiencies of these tests under asymmetric...
