Strassen's LIL for the Lorenz Curve
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1996 The authors prove Strassen's law of the iterated logarithm for the Lorenz process assuming that the underlying d.f. \(F\) and its inverse \(F^{-1}\) are continuous and the moment \(EX^{2+u}\) is finite for some \(u>0\). Previously, the first author, \textit{S. Csörgö} and \textit{L.

REVISITING THE ORDERED FAMILY OF LORENZ CURVES [PDF]
Lorenz curve; Gini index Abstract: Sarabia et al. (1999) present a basic model to create ordered families of Lorenz curves, along with basic theorems that describe the conditions for the models to satisfy the definition of the Lorenz curve.

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.

The Advantages of Using Group Means in Estimating the Lorenz Curve and Gini Index From Grouped Data
, 2016 A recent article proposed a histogram-based method for estimating the Lorenz curve and Gini index from grouped data that did not use the group means reported by government agencies.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
