Abstract
. In this work, we define the cumulative past Fisher (CPF) information and the relative cumulative past Fisher (RCRF) information measures for parameter as well as for the distribution function of the underlying random variables. We show that these cumulative past Fisher information measures can be expressed in terms of the reversed hazard rate function. We also define three extensions of the CPF information measure. Further, we study these cumulative information measures and their Bayes versions for some well-known models used in reliability, economics and survival analysis. The associated results reveal some interesting connections between the proposed Fisher type information measures with some well-known information divergences and reliability measures.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics aims to publish high quality research papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes.
More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered:
(i) Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or their computational aspects.
(ii) Original articles developing theoretical results.
(iii) Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems. For these papers the focus is in the importance and originality of the applied problem, as well as, applications of the best available methodologies to solve it.
(iv) Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and statistics. The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.
