Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...

On Calculation of the Extended Gini Coefficient. [PDF]
The conventional formula for estimating the extended Gini coefficient is a covariance formula provided by Lerman and Yitzhaki (1989). We suggest an alternative estimator obtained by approximating the Lorenz curve by a series of linear segments.

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) catheter placement is known to have a high readmission rate. This work focuses on monitoring the change in readmission rate after a new clinical paradigm for post‐procedural care is implemented for the PTBD procedures.

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

Evidence for the exponential distribution of income in the USA
, 2000 Using tax and census data, we demonstrate that the distribution of individual income in the USA is exponential. Our calculated Lorenz curve without fitting parameters and Gini coefficient 1/2 agree well with the data.

Inequality and Migration: A Behavioral Link [PDF]
We provide an analytical-behavioral explanation for the observed positive relationship between income inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, and the incentive to migrate. We show that a higher total relative deprivation of a population leads to

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Coefficient of variation and Power Pen's parade computation [PDF]
Under the the assumption that income y is a power function of its rank among n individuals, we approximate the coefficient of variation and gini index as functions of the power degree of the Pen's parade.
