Neutrosophic entropy measures for the Weibull distribution: theory and applications

Entropy is a standard measure used to determine the uncertainty, randomness, or chaos of experimental outcomes and is quite popular in statistical distribution theory. Entropy methods available in the literature quantify the information of a random variable with exact numbers and lacks in dealing with the interval value data. An indeterminate state of an experiment generally generates the data in interval form. The indeterminacy property of interval-valued data makes it a neutrosophic form data. This research proposed some modified forms of entropy measures for an important lifetime distribution called Weibull distribution by considering the neutrosophic form of the data. The performance of the proposed methods is assessed via a simulation study and three real-life data applications. The simulation and real-life data examples suggested that the proposed methodologies of entropies for the Weibull distribution are more suitable when the random variable of the distribution is in an interval form and has indeterminacy or vagueness in it.
