It is well-known that the Shannon entropies of some parameterized probability distributions are concave functions with respect to the parameter. In this paper we consider a family of such distributions (including the binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions) and investigate their Shannon, Rényi, and Tsallis entropies with respect to complete monotonicity.

Keywords: monotonicity; complete monotonicity; monotonicity entropies
