Gintropy: Gini Index Based Generalization of Entropy [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Entropy is being used in physics, mathematics, informatics and in related areas to describe equilibration, dissipation, maximal probability states and optimal compression of information.

Fluctuations in time intervals of financial data from the view point of the Gini index [PDF]
, 2006 We propose an approach to explain fluctuations in time intervals of financial markets data from the view point of the Gini index. We show the explicit form of the Gini index for a Weibull distribution which is a good candidate to describe the first ...

Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specified Error Bound [PDF]
Econometrics, 2016 Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a theory and methodology for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width without assuming any specific ...

A data science based standardized Gini index as a Lorenz dominance preserving measure of the inequality of distributions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The Gini index is a measure of the inequality of a distribution that can be derived from Lorenz curves. While commonly used in, e.g., economic research, it suffers from ambiguity via lack of Lorenz dominance preservation.

The global immune-nutrition-inflammation index predicts pathological response and survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy [PDF]
Frontiers in NutritionObjectiveThe global immune-nutrition-inflammation index (GINI) is a new composite indicator that assesses nutrition and inflammation and has been linked to prognosis in various cancers.

Some Notes on the Gini Index and New Inequality Measures: The nth Gini Index
StatsA new family of inequality indices based on the deviation between the expected maximum and the expected minimum of random samples, called the nth Gini index is presented. These indices generalize the Gini index.

Trade-Off Between Entropy and Gini Index in Income Distribution [PDF]
EntropyWe investigate the fundamental trade-off between entropy and the Gini index within income distributions, employing a stochastic framework to expose deficiencies in conventional inequality metrics.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 We propose an extended version of Gini index defined on the set of infinite utility streams, $X=Y^\mathbb{N}$ where $Y\subset \mathbb{R}$. For $Y$ containing at most finitely many elements, the index satisfies the generalized Pigou-Dalton transfer principles in addition to the anonymity axiom.

Measuring income inequalities beyond Gini index
, 2018 Growing interest in the analysis of interrelationships between income distribution and economic growth has recently stimulated new theoretical as well as empirical research. Since existing theoretical models propose inequality is detrimental to growth, while others point at income inequality as an essential determinant supporting economic growth ...
