Abstract

In this paper, we obtain certain bounds for some dynamic information divergences measures viz. Renyi’s divergence of order αand Kerridge’s inaccuracy, using likelihood ratio ordering. The results are also extended to weighted models and theoretical examples are given to supplement the results.
