Abstract
In the present communication we introduce a length biased past inaccuracy measure between two past lifetime distributions over the interval (0, t). Based on proportional reversed hazard model characterization problem for the length biased inaccuracy measure has been studied. An upper bound to the weighted past inaccuracy measure has also been derived, which reduces to the upper bound obtained in case of weighted past entropy.
