Applying two methods, wavelet and Taylor expansion, approximations for expectations of k-record values are derived. Since ordinary record values are contained in the k-records, approximations for their moments can be obtained as particular case. In the case of wavelet expansion, the lower and upper bounds for the mean of k-records are obtained. Numerical examples are presented in order to compa...

Abstract: In this paper, we provide an entropy inference method that is based on an objective Bayesian approach for upper record values having a two-parameter logistic distribution. We derive the entropy that is based on the i-th upper record value and the joint entropy that is based on the upper record values. Moreover, we examine their properties. For objective Bayesian analysis, we obtain ob...
