Quantile functions are efficient and equivalent alternatives to distribution functions
in modeling and analysis of statistical data (see Gilchrist, 2000; Nair and Sankaran,
2009). Motivated by this, in the present paper, we introduce a quantile based Shannon
entropy function. We also introduce residual entropy function in the quantile setup and
study its properties. Unlike the residual entropy function due to Ebrahimi (1996), the
residual quantile entropy function determines the quantile density function uniquely
through a simple relationship. The measure is used to define two nonparametric classes
of distributions |
