The Lorenz curve as an archetype: A historico-epistemological study
In 1905, Max O. Lorenz suggested a simple method of measuring the concentration of wealth, based on the visual representation of income distribution. The Lorenz curve is now very popular and can be considered as canonical.

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 ...

REVIEW OF INEQUALITY METRICS WITH APPLICATION IN INCOME INEQUALITY IN LOUISIANA [PDF]
Economic data sets usually are, by their nature, very large and therefore researchers naturally want to analyze the distribution of the data set and make statistical inference about various parameters of interest, such as means, medians, variances, etc ...

How consistently do ensemble prediction systems represent the growth of atmospheric uncertainty?
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Spread‐based diagnostics calculated for 12 ensemble prediction systems are compared to understand the consistency with which they represent atmospheric uncertainty growth. Good correlation between all these systems is found in the extratropics for a lead time range from 48 hr to between 96 hr and 192 hr.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Fractal fluctuations are a core concept for inquiries into human behavior and cognition from a dynamic systems perspective. Here, we present a generalized variance method for multivariate detrended fluctuation analysis (mvDFA). The advantage of this extension is that it can be applied to multivariate time series and considers intercorrelation ...

The Absence of Deprivation as a Measure of Social Well-Being. An Empirical Investigation [PDF]
The generalised Lorenz criterion is widely used for making welfare comparisons within and across countries on the basis of their income distributions. Experimental studies have challenged this way of proceeding by showing that the principle of transfers,

Epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty quantification in weather and climate models
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties over time on weather and climate time‐scales, estimated through ensembles that sample aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty using Bayesian neural networks for parameterisations in the Lorenz 1996 model. The spread shows the 16th and 84th percentiles.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Non‐timber forest products (NTFPs) are central to income diversification and livelihood resilience in Sub‐Saharan Africa. However, the welfare implications of baobab commercialisation remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by analysing the contribution of the baobab value chain to household income, poverty reduction, and income ...
