Some Further Results on the Fractional Cumulative Entropy

Entropy (Basel). 2022 Jul 28;24(8):1037. doi: 10.3390/e24081037.

Abstract

In this paper, the fractional cumulative entropy is considered to get its further properties and also its developments to dynamic cases. The measure is used to characterize a family of symmetric distributions and also another location family of distributions. The links between the fractional cumulative entropy and the classical differential entropy and some reliability quantities are also unveiled. In addition, the connection the measure has with the standard deviation is also found. We provide some examples to establish the variability property of this measure.

Keywords: Shannon entropy; fractional cumulative entropy; fractional cumulative residual entropy; maximum order statistic; risk-adjusted premium.
