Abstract: The cumulative entropy is an information measure which is alternative to the differential entropy. Indeed, the cumulative entropy of a random lifetime X can be expressed as the expectation of its mean inactivity time evaluated at X. In this paper we propose a new generalized cumulative entropy based on Tsallis entropy (CTE) and its dynamic version (DCTE). We study some properties and characterization results for this measure.
