Abstract

In this article we consider seven entropy measures to calculate the loss of entropy when the underlying life time distribution is truncated Rayleigh on [0, t) instead of Rayleigh on [0, 8). Numerical comparisons are performed to see which entropy measure has advantages over the other measures in terms of relative loss in entropy.
