Results on residual Rényi entropy of order statistics and record values

Abstract

This paper explores properties of the residual Rényi entropy of some ordered random variables. The residual Rényi entropy of the kth order statistic from a continuous distribution function is represented in terms of the residual Rényi entropy of the kth order statistic from uniform distribution. The monotone behavior of the residual Rényi entropy of order statistic under various conditions is discussed. Analogues results for the residual Rényi entropy of record values are also given. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.
