Abstract

We provide bounds for Rényi entropy of records. We also show that the Rényi entropy ordering of random variables determines the Rényi entropy ordering of their respective records. We characterize exponential distribution by maximization of Rényi entropy under some conditions. We show that Rényi distance between distribution of records and parent distribution is distribution free.
