Lorenz Curve-Based Entropy Thresholding on Circular Histogram
IEEE Access, 2020 Circular histogram thresholding is a new threshold selection method in color image segmentation. However, the method of the existing circular histogram thresholding based on the Otsu Criteria lacks the generality of using the circular histogram. In order

Lorenz-generated bivariate Archimedean copulas
Dependence Modeling, 2020 A novel generating mechanism for non-strict bivariate Archimedean copulas via the Lorenz curve of a non-negative random variable is proposed. Lorenz curves have been extensively studied in economics and statistics to characterize wealth inequality and ...

Asymptotic Results in Broken Stick Models: The Approach via Lorenz Curves
Mathematics, 2020 A stick of length 1 is broken at random into n smaller sticks. How much inequality does this procedure produce? What happens if, instead of breaking a stick, we break a square? What happens asymptotically?

Income inequality measures and the middle class [PDF]
SHS Web of Conferences, 2021 We study how the presence of the middle class in the sense of Gevorgyan-Malykhin affects the value of income inequality measures including the Gini coefficient J and the Hoover index H.

Group averaging and the Gini deviation
RUDN Journal of Economics, 2021 It is known that partitioning a society into groups with subsequent averaging in each group decreases the Gini coefficient. The resulting Lorenz function is piecewise linear.

Resource and Energy Economics, 2010 The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it exhibits that standard tools in themeasurement of income inequality, such as the Lorenz curve and the Gini-index,can successfully be applied to the issues of inequality measurement of carbonemissions and the equity of abatement policies across countries.

Assessing spatial inequality in cancer service access in regional areas
Cogent Public Health, 2022 This paper applies economic concepts from measuring income inequality to an exercise in assessing spatial inequality in cancer service access in regional areas. We propose a mathematical model for accessing chemotherapy among local government areas (LGAs)

Cascade of Invariant Curve Doubling Bifurcations and Quasi-Periodic Hénon Attractor in the Discrete Lorenz-84 Model [PDF]
Известия Саратовского университета. Новая серия: Физика, 2020 Background and Objectives: Chaotic behavior is one of the fundamental properties of nonlinear dynamical systems, including maps. Chaos can be most easily and reliably diagnosed using the largest Lyapunov exponent, which will be positive for the chaotic ...

An alternative method to test scale invariance
MethodsX, 2020 We introduce an alternative method that is simple and can be used to test scale invariance or self-similarity in any types of data, irrespective of their distributions.
