We are focusing on generalized entropy and discrepancy measures that have numerous applications in engineering, reliability and biostatistics. A number of such measures are introduced and some of their properties are investigated. A number of applications in statistical inference are also provided with emphasis on models with proportional and reversed hazards.}, identifier = {06118037}, }
