Abstract: In this paper, we derive the [beta]-entropy for Pareto-type and related distributions. Further, the [beta]-entropy for some weighted versions of these distributions, such as order statistics, proportional hazards, proportional reversed hazards, probability weighted moments, upper record and lower record, is obtained.
