  • Abstract
    The multivariate survival function of a random vector X is used to define a broad class of entropy measures. Several properties of the proposed class are studied and explicit expressions of the measures derived for specific probabilistic models. The cumulative residual entropy, introduced by Rao et al. and Wang et al., is a particular case of the proposed class of measures.
