Abstract




The aim of the present contribution is to define a generalized qual- itative measure of variation of information through generating function and to characterize it axiomatically. In this sequence the generaliz.ed qualitative measure of information improvexnent as the difference of generalized measure of information of variation defined earlier is also defined. Most of the measures studied so far thus turns out to be particular ones. Some basic applicative properties are discussed.
