On weighted parametric information measure
Om Parkash

Abstract

Shannon's measure of information plays a very important role for measuring diversity in plants and animals. But this measure does not deal with growth models other than exponential. Thus we need a parametric model which is suitable to all types of distributions. In this communication, one such measure depending upon two real parameters has been developed under a set of certain axioms and its particular cases have been studied.
