Abstract

In this paper we start with a triparametric self information function and triparametric entropy. Some familiar entropies are derived as particular cases. A measure called information deviation and some generalization of Kullback’s information are obtained under some boundary conditions.

Keywords:

Shannon entropy, Kullback’s information, joint entropy, generalized inaccuracy, information deviation
