In this article, we study reliability measures such as geometric vitality function
and conditional Shannon’s measures of uncertainty proposed by Ebrahimi (1996)
and Sankaran and Gupta (1999), respectively, for the doubly (interval) truncated
random variables. In survival analysis and reliability engineering, these measures
play a significant role in studying the various characteristics of a system/component
when it fails between two time points. The interrelationships among these uncertainty
measures for various distributions are derived and proved characterization theorems
arising out of them |
