Estimation of Weighted Extropy with Focus on Its Use in Reliability Modeling

Abstract

In the literature, estimation of weighted extropy is infrequently considered. In this paper, some non-parametric estimators of weighted extropy are given. The validation and comparison of the estimators are implemented with the help of simulation study and data illustration. The usefulness of the estimators is demonstrated using real data sets.
