Neutrosophic moment exponential distribution: properties and modeling of child mortality rate data

AIMS Mathematics
This research extends traditional statistical distribution theory, which often neglects issues such as ambiguity, imprecision, or indeterminacy. The primary aim is to develop the neutrosophic moment exponential distribution as a refined version of the ...

Estimation of Weighted Extropy Under the α-Mixing Dependence Condition

Stats
Introduced as a complementary concept to Shannon entropy, extropy provides an alternative perspective for measuring uncertainty. While useful in areas such as reliability theory and scoring rules, extropy in its original form treats all outcomes equally,

Generalizing Uncertainty Through Dynamic Development and Analysis of Residual Cumulative Generalized Fractional Extropy with Applications in Human Health

Fractal and Fractional
The complementary dual of entropy has received significant attention in the literature. Due to the emergence of many generalizations and extensions of entropy, the need to generalize the complementary dual of uncertainty arose.

Thermodynamic Measure for Nonequilibrium Processes [PDF]

Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2007
One of the most fundamental laws of Nature is formulated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. At present, in its usual formulation the central concept is entropy characterized in terms of equilibrium state variables.
