Cumulative Measure of Uncertainty for Conditionally Specified Models

Abstract

Abtsrcat Recently, Rao (2005) introduced an alternate measure of uncertainty called cumulative entropy that parallels Shannon entropy (see Asadi (2007)). Motivated by this, in the present paper, we introduce cumulative entropies for two types of conditionally specied models. Finally, an applica- tion of the cumulative entropy using the maximum entropy principle is also illustrated.
