On the Dynamic Cumulative Past Quantile Entropy Ordering

Abstract

In many society and natural science fields, some stochastic orders have been established in the literature to compare the variability of two random variables. For a stochastic order, if an individual (or a unit) has some property, sometimes we need to infer that the population (or a system) also has the same property. Then, we say this order has closed property. Reversely, we say this order has reversed closure. This kind of symmetry or anti-symmetry is constructive to uncertainty management. In this paper, we obtain a quantile version of DCPE, termed as the dynamic cumulative past quantile entropy (DCPQE). On the basis of the DCPQE function, we introduce two new nonparametric classes of life distributions and a new stochastic order, the dynamic cumulative past quantile entropy (DCPQE) order. Some characterization results of the new order are investigated, some closure and reversed closure properties of the DCPQE order are obtained. As applications of one of the main results, we also deal with the preservation of the DCPQE order in several stochastic models.
