Analysis of inequality via social stratification
Entreciencias: Diálogos en la Sociedad del Conocimiento, 2020 To analyze the contribution that social stratification provides to inequality using the Gini index as an input. Methodology: The compatible differences tool was used to calculate the percentage of income provided by social strata using the Gini index ...

An elementary characterization of the Gini index
The Gini coefficient or index is perhaps one of the most used indicators of social and economic conditions. In this paper we characterize the Gini index as the unique function that satisfies the properties of scale invariance, symmetry, proportionality ...

Decomposition of Gini and the generalized entropy inequality measures [PDF]
In this article we provide an overview of the Gini decomposition and the generalized entropy inequality measures, a free access to their computation, an application on French wages, and a different way than Dagum to demonstrate that the Gini index is a ...

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Preoperative anxiety is a significant stressor for children and is associated with negative postoperative outcomes. Although the incidence of difficult inductions during a single anesthetic encounter is well documented, the longitudinal trajectory of anxiety behaviors in children undergoing repeated anesthesia remains poorly ...

The Gini index of speech [PDF]
, 2004 In which representation is speech most sparse? Time-scale? Time-frequency? Which window generator and length should be used to create the sparsest decomposition? To answer these questions, we propose the Gini index, which is twice the area between the Lorenz curve and the 45 degree line, as a measure of signal sparsity.

Systemic bio‐inequity links poverty to biodiversity and induces a conservation paradox
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.This study found that the metabolomic signature of umbilical venous cord blood in congenital heart disease (CHD) differs from that of healthy monozygotic (MZ) co‐twins. Dysregulation of metabolic pathways like glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, along with altered metabolites, helps understand CHD predisposition.

Comparison of the Gini and Zenga Indexes using Some Theoretical Income Distributions Abstract
Operations Research and Decisions, 2013 The most common measure of inequality used in scientific research is the Gini index. In 2007, Zenga proposed a new index of inequality that has all the appropriate properties of an measure of equality.
