1 STATISTICA, anno LXXII, n., 0 ON BOUNDS OF SOME DYNAMIC INFORMATION DIVERGENCE MEASURES. INTRODUCTION Discriminaion and inaccuracy measures play a key role in informaion heory, reliabiliy and oher relaed fields. There are many discriminaion measures (relaive enropy) available in lieraure and are used as a measure of he disance beeen o disribuions or funcions. Renyi s informaion divergence of order is one such popular discriminaion measures used by many researchers (see Asadi e al., 005a, 005b and references herein). Le X and Y be o absoluely coninuous non negaive random variables (rv s) ha describe he lifeimes of o iems. Denoe by f, F and F, he probabiliy densiy funcion (pdf), cumulaive disribuion funcion (cdf) and survival funcion (sf) of X respecively and g, G and G, he corresponding funcions of Y. Also, le h f / F and hy g/ G be he hazard (failure) raes and X f / F and Y g / G be he reversed hazard raes of X and Y respecively. Then Renyi s informaion divergence of order beeen o disribuions f and g is defined by ( ) f( X) IXY, ln f ( x) g ( x) dx lne 0 f gx ( ) for such ha 0. Hoever, in many applied problems viz., reliabiliy, survival analysis, economics, business, acuary ec. one has informaion only abou he curren age of he sysems, and hus are dynamic. Then he discriminaion informaion funcion beeen o residual lifeime disribuions based on Renyi s informaion divergence of order is given by ( ) XY, () ln ( ) f ( x) g ( x) I dx () F () G () X
2 4 for such ha 0. Noe ha IX, Y() IX, Y, here X ( X X ) and Y ( Y Y ) are residual lifeimes associaed o X and Y. Anoher se of ineres ha leads o he dynamic informaion measures is he pas lifeime of he individual. In he conex of pas lifeimes, (Asadi e al., 005b) defined Renyi s discriminaion implied by F and G beeen he pas lives ( X X ) and ( Y Y ) as ( ) XY, () ln 0 ( ) f ( x) g ( x) I dx () F () G () for such ha 0. Given ha a ime, o iems have been found o be failing, equaion () measures he dispariy beeen heir pas lives. Recenly, he inaccuracy measure due o (Kerridge, 96) is also idely used as a useful ool o measure he inaccuracy beeen o disribuions f and g. I is given by K f( x)ln g( x) dx. XY, I can be expressed as 0 K, D( X, Y) H( X) XY 0 here DXY (, ) f( x)ln( f( x)/ gx ( )) dx is he Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence beeen X and Y and H( X) f( x)ln f( x) dx is Shannon measure 0 of informaion of X. (Taneja e al., 009) inroduced a dynamic version of Kerridge measure, given by f( x) g( x) KXY, () ln dx (3) F () G () Noe ha KX, Y() KX, Y. Clearly, hen X Y, equaion (3) becomes he popular dynamic measure of uncerainy (residual enropy) due o (Ebrahimi, 996). A similar expression for he inaciviy imes is available in (Vikas Kumar e al., 0) and given by f( x) g( x) KXY, () ln dx 0 F () G () (4) For a ide variey of research for he sudy of hese dynamic informaion measures, e refer o (Ebrahimi and Kirmani, 996a, 996b; Di Crescenzo and Lon-

The concep of eighed disribuions as inroduced by (Rao, 965) in connecion ih modeling saisical daa and in siuaions here he usual pracice of employing sandard disribuions for he purpose as no found appropriae. If he pdf of X is f and (.) is a non-negaive funcion saisfying EX ( ( )), hen he pdf f, df F sf F of he corresponding eighed rv X are respecively ( ) ( ) ( ) x f x f x, ( ( ) ) ( ) Ex X F x F ( x ) and ( ( ) ) ( ) Ex X F x F ( x ). An imporan disribuion hich arises as a special case of eighed disribuions is he equilibrium models, obained hen (.) F/ f. I is also arises naurally in reneal heory as he disribuion of he backard or forard recurrence ime in he limiing case. Associaed ih X, a equilibrium rv X E can be defined as ih pdf fe F/, ih sf and failure rae funcion are given respecively by FE( x) r( x) F( x)/ and he( x) / r( x), here E( X ) and rx ( ) EX ( x X x). For various applicaions and recen orks on eighed and equilibrium disribuions, e refer o (Gupa and Kirmani, 990; Navarro e al., 00; Di Crescenzo and Longobardi, 006; Gupa, 007; Maya and Sunoj, 008; Navarro e al., 0; Sunoj and Sreejih, press). Alhough a ide variey of research has been carried ou for sudying hese dynamic informaion measures () o (4) in he conex of modeling and analysis, hoever, very lile has been sudied o obain is bounds ih regard o some sochasic ordering. Accordingly in he presen paper, e obain cerain bounds/inequaliies on hese dynamic discriminaion measures () o (4) for rv s X and Y and subsequenly beeen X and X, using likelihood ordering. More imporanly, some close relaionships beeen hese dynamic discriminaion measures, reliabiliy measures and residual informaion measures are obained in erms of bounds.. RENYI S DISCRIMINATION MEASURE OF ORDER Renyi s discriminaion measure for he residual lives of he original and eighed rv s is given by ( ) f ( x) f XX, () ln ( ) ( x) I dx, (5) F () F () for such ha 0, and ha for pas lives is given by ( ) f ( x) f XX, () ln 0 ( ) ( x) I dx. (6) F () F ()
4 6 for such ha 0. Equaions (5) and (6) measures he discrepancy beeen he residual (pas) lives of original rv X and eighed rv X. More imporanly, IXX, () may be a useful ool for measuring ho far he rue densiy is disan from a eighed densiy. On he oher hand, hen he original and eighed densiy funcions are equal hen, IXX, () 0 ae.. Remark. Equaions (5) and (6) may be useful in he deerminaion of a eigh funcion and herefore for he selecions of a suiable eigh funcion in an observed mechanism, e can choose a eigh funcion for hich (5) or (6) are small. Moreover, (5) and (6) are asymmeric in f and f, herefore, for reversing he roles of f and f in (5), say IX, () X and equae ih (5) for a symmeric measure implies he eigh funcion is uniy, i.e., hen f = f (see Maya and Sunoj, 008). In many insances in applicaions, sochasic orders and inequaliies are very useful for he comparison of o disribuions. In he univariae case, several noions of sochasic orders are popular in lieraure. I is ell knon ha likelihood raio order is more imporan han he oher orders such as usual sochasic order or he hazard rae order (see Shaked and Shanhikumar, 007), as i implies he oher o. Accordingly, in he folloing heorems, e use he likelihood raio ordering o obain some bounds and inequaliies on Renyi s discriminaion measure of order beeen X and Y and subsequenly beeen X and X. We say X is said o be smaller han Y in likelihood raio ( X LR Y ) if f(x)/g(x) is decreasing in x over he union of he suppors of X and Y. The resuls are quie similar o KL informaion divergence given in (Di Crescenzo and Longobardi, 004). In a similar ay for he Renyi s informaion divergence of order, likelihood raio ordering provides some simple upper or loer bounds hich are funcions of imporan reliabiliy measures and/or Shannon informaion measure. The folloing heorem provides a simple upper bound for Renyi informaion of order ih bounds are funcions of hazard raes of X and Y. Theorem. If X Y LR, hen IXY, hx () () ( ) ln hy ( ) if (0 ). Proof. Since X Y, LR f ( x ) g( x ) is decreasing in x, i.e., f ( x) f( ) for all x >. g( x) g( ) ( ) f ( x ) g ( x ) f ( x ) g ( x I ) XY, () ln dx ln dx ( ) ( ) F () G () g ( x) F () G () hen,

XX E( X ( ) X ) () ( ) ln ( ) if Proof: Using he relaionship for hazard rae beeen X and X, e have hx () E( ( X) X ), from hich he corollary follos. h () () X Example. The Pareo disribuion has played a very imporan role in he invesigaion of ciy populaion, occurrence of naural resources, insurance risk and business failures and has been a useful model in many socio economic sudies (see Abdul Sahar e al., 005). Accordingly, e consider Pareo I disribuion ih c c pdf f( x) ck x, x k, k0, c o illusrae he above heorem. Using he eigh funcion x ( ) x, e have X LR X and X also follos a Pareo disribuion. c ( c ) c c IXX, ( ) ln ln ln. ( c ) ( c ) c c c E( X ( ) X ) So IXX, () ( ) ln ln according as c ( ) (0 ).

Accordingly, in he res of paper, e include he bounds

If X LR Y, hen IXY, () ( ) ln Y ( ) No e exend he above heorem o eighed models. if (0 ). Corollary 3. If X LR X, hen I, (0 ). XX E( X ( ) X ) () ( ) ln ( ) if Example. Suppose X is a finie range rv ih pdf f ( x) cx,0x, c 0, and aking x ( ) x f( x) c ( 0) e have x is decreasing in x (i.e., f( x) c X X ).

In he sudy of relaive enropies, i is quie useful if e find some close relaionships beeen is differen measures and oher imporan reliabiliy/informaion measures. Therefore, in he folloing heorem e derive a loer bounds for IXY, (), hich are funcions of boh hazard rae and Shannon informaion measure. Theorem 3.

Renyi informaion divergence of order and Kerridge s inaccuracy for measuring disance beeen a rue disribuion and an arbirary disribuion, using likelihood raio ordering. Furher, likelihood ordering provides some simple upper or loer bounds o hese discriminaion measures, here he bounds are funcions of cerain imporan reliabiliy measures such as hazard (reversed hazard) raes and residual (pas) Shannon informaion measure(s). These bounds are also exended o he eighed case by assuming arbirary disribuion as a eighed one, useful for comparison of observed and original disribuions. Examples are also given for hese bounds for heoreical validaion. Deparmen of Saisics Cochin Universiy of Science and Technology Cochin 68 0, Kerala, India S.M. SUNOJ M.N.
