Abstract: The notion of weighted Renyi’s entropy for truncated random variables has recently been proposed in the information-theoretic literature. In this paper, we introduce a generalized measure of it for double truncated distribution, namely weighted generalized interval entropy (WGIE), and study it in the context of reliability analysis. Several properties, including monotonicity, bounds and uniqueness of WGIE are investigated. Moreover, the proposed measure is estimated using parametric approach and a simulation study is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the estimates for a real data set. The role of WGIE in reliability modeling has been investigated. We also provide an application of the proposed concept in coding theory.
