Abstract

Recently Habibi et al. (2006) defined a pre-experimental
criterion for the potential strength of evidence provided by an experiment,
based on Kullback-Leibler distance. In this paper, we investigate
the potential statistical evidence in an experiment in terms
of Renyi distance and compare the potential statistical evidence in
lower (upper) record values with that in the same number of iid observations
from the same parent distribution.
