Measures of divergence or discrepancy are used either to measure mutual information concerning two variables or to construct model selection criteria. In this paper we are focusing on divergence measures that are based on a class of measures known as Csiszar's divergence measures. We focus on some generalizations of measures of divergence and propose a class of goodness of fit tests based on Csiszar's class of measures designed for censored survival or reliability data. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
