Abstract
- The generalized past entropy function introduced by Gupta and Nanda (2002) is viewed as a dynamic measure of uncertainty in past life. This measure finds applications in modeling past life time data. In the present work we provide non-parametric kernel-type estimator for the generalized past entropy function based on censored data. Asymptotic properties of the estimator are established under suitable regularity conditions. Simulation studies are carried out using the Monte Carlo method.
