Abstract: On the basis of Kullback-Leibler discrimination information, and of discrimination measures introduced by Ebrahimi and Kirmani (1996a) and by Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2004), we propose a measure of discrepancy between double truncated distributions. Some properties of this measure are studied and some mistakes in the preceding literature are corrected.
