| Summary: | Doubly truncated data appear in some applications with survival and astrological data. Analogous to the doubly truncated discrimination measure defined by Misagh and Yari (2012), a generalized discrimination measure between two doubly truncated non-negative random variables is proposed. Several bounds are obtained. It is remarked that the proposed measure can never be equal to a nonzero constant which is independent of the left and right truncated points. The effect of monotone transformations on the proposed measure is discussed. Finally, a simulation study is added to provide the estimates of the proposed discrimination measure. (English) |
