标题: Residual and Past Lifetime Distributions: An Information Theoretic Approach | |
摘要: The ‘residual’ lifetime distribution means the lifetime distribution of a component which has already survived up to some unit of time and the ‘past’ lifetime distribution means the lifetime distribution from the state ‘zero’ to the state ‘t’ when the unit has been found to survive only up to time t. A conventional approach to characterize the life distribution of a component is by measures like hazard rate function and the aging of a system is usually described in terms of increasing hazard rate function. We consider the information-theoretic measure approach to study the concept of aging and derive measures of residual and past uncertainty and inaccuracy. From these we characterize some specific lifetime distributions. This has been done both for continuous and discrete parameters cases. | |
