Considering Rao et al. (2004) and Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2009) studies, Misagh et al. (2011) proposed a weighted information which is based on the cumulative entropy called Weighted Cumulative Entropy (WCE). The above-mentioned model is a Shiftdependent Uncertainty Measure. In this paper, we examine some of the properties of WCE and obtain some bounds for that. In order to ...

Random number generators (RNGs) are essential for cryptographic applications. In most practical applications, the randomness of RNGs is provided by entropy sources. If the randomness is less than the expected, the security of cryptographic applications could be undermined. Accurate entropy estimation is a critical method for the evaluation of RNG security, and significant overestimation and und...

Abstract Much research shows that the ratings judges assign to same wine are uncertain. And while may be independent, also they not identically distributed. Thus, an acute difficulty in ratings-related and calculating consensus among is each rating one observation drawn from a latent distribution wine- judge-specific. What can deduced about shape of observation? A simple maximum entropy estimat...
