People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Children today spend less time outdoors than previous generations, with potential consequences for health, learning and pro‐environmental attitudes. We assessed children's connection with and exposure to nature in a Mediterranean setting using the Nature Connection and Experience Index (NCEI), a composite measure that integrates an affective ...

RELIABLE INFERENCE FOR THE GINI INDEX [PDF]
Although attention has been given to obtaining reliable standard errors for the plugin estimator of the Gini index, all standard errors suggested until now are either complicated or quite unreliable. An approximation is derived for the estimator by which

Inequality measures in kinetic exchange models of wealth distributions
, 2016 In this paper, we study the inequality indices for some models of wealth exchange. We calculated Gini index and newly introduced k-index and compare the results with reported empirical data available for different countries. We have found lower and upper

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 ...

Gini Index and Polynomial Pen's Parade [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a simple way to compute the Gini index when income y is a finite order k polynomial function of its rank among n individuals.Gini, Income inequality, Polynomial pen's parade, Ranks.

Gini, deprivation and complaints [PDF]
, 2005 Recent insights from the philosopher Larry Temkin have suggested a new basis for the measurement of income inequality, founded on the notion of individual “complaints” about income distribution.

Universal Critical Phase Diagram Using Gini Index
Journal of the Physical Society of JapanThe critical phase surface of a system, in general, can depend on one or more parameters. We show that by calculating the Gini index ($g$) of any suitably defined response function of a system, the critical phase surface can always be reduced to that of a single parameter, starting from $g=0$ and terminating at $g=g_f$, where $g_f$ is a universal ...

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.

Sampling Distribution of the Gini Index from a Skew Normal [PDF]
The Gini concentration ratio has been extensively used in the study of "inequality" of distributions. According to Chakrabarthy (1982), "the Lorenz curve and the Gini index have remained the most popular and powerful tool in the analyses of size ...
