Abstract
In the present communication we introduce a dynamic measure of inaccuracy between two past lifetime distributions over the interval (0, t). Based on proportional reversed hazard rate model (PRHRM), a characterization problem for this dynamic inaccuracy measure has been studied. An upper bound to the dynamic measure of inaccuracy H*(f, g; t) has also been derived.
