Abstract:
In this work, we define cumulative residual q-Fisher (CRQF) information measures for the survival function (SF) of the underlying random variables as well as for the model parameter. We also propose q-hazard rate (QHR) function via q-logarithmic function as a new extension of hazard rate function. We show that CRQF information measure can be expressed in terms of the QHR function. We define further generalized cumulative residual χ2 divergence measures between two SFs. We then examine the cumulative residual q-Fisher information for two well-known mixture models, and the corresponding results reveal some interesting connections between the cumulative residual q-Fisher information and the generalized cumulative residual χ2 divergence measures. Further, we define Jensen-cumulative residual χ2 (JCR-χ2) measure and a parametric version of the Jensen-cumulative residual Fisher information measure and then discuss their properties and inter-connections. Finally, for illustrative purposes, we examine a real example of image processing and provide some numerical results in terms of the CRQF information measure.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
