Abstract

In this paper, several characterizations of continuous symmetric distributions are provided. The results are based on the properties of some information measures of k-records. These include cumulative residual (past) entropy, Shannon entropy, Rényi entropy, Tsallis entropy, also some common Kerridge inaccuracy measures. It is proved that the equality of information in upper and lower k-records is a characteristic property of continuous symmetric distributions. Completeness properties of certain function sequences are also used to obtain some characterization results.
