Development of an Impairment Point in Time Probability of Default Model for Revolving Retail Credit Products: South African Case Study

open access: yesRisks, 2021
A new methodology to derive IFRS 9 PiT PDs is proposed. The methodology first derives a PiT term structure with accompanying segmented term structures. Secondly, the calibration of credit scores using the Lorenz curve approach is used to create account ...

Asymptotic Behaviors of the Lorenz Curve for Left Truncated and Dependent Data [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2012
The purpose of this paper is to provide some asymptotic results for nonparametric estimator of the Lorenz curve and Lorenz process for the case in which data are assumed to be strong mixing subject to random left truncation.

Application of Lorenz-curve model to stratified water injection evaluation

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
To evaluate the effect of stratified water injection accurately during different development stages, a Lorenz-curve model was constructed upon a modified four-parameter Sarabia-Lorenz-curve model with water injectivity test data over years, and the ...

The Total time on test transform in measuring income inequality [PDF]

open access: yesمدلسازی اقتصادسنجی, 2020
Wealth distribution is one of the most important and effective factors in the economic and social stability of each society. Thus, assessing the behavior of income distribution have great importance and to do this, several indices have been introduced ...

An Exponential Family of Lorenz Curves [PDF]

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, 2001
A new method for building parametric‐functional families of Lorenz curves, generated from an initial Lorenz curve (which satisfies some regularity conditions), is presented. The method is applied to the exponential family since they use the exponential Lorenz curves as their generating curves.

Income inequality in Mashhad Bus Lines based on [PDF]

open access: yesمدلسازی اقتصادسنجی, 2014
Several indexes and measures have been introduced in the field of economic inequality. Zenga in 2007 introduce a new index which as an alternative to the Gini coefficient.

Estimating Lorenz and Concentration Curves [PDF]

open access: yesThe Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2016
Lorenz and concentration curves are widely used tools in inequality research. In this article, I present a new command, lorenz, that estimates Lorenz and concentration curves from individual-level data and, optionally, displays the results in a graph.

A regression method for estimating Gini index by decile

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications
Based on the three-parametric Lorenz curve proposed by Kakwani (1980), this paper builds a multiple linear regression model to estimate the parameters by the weighted least square method named the regression method. Using the Lorenz curve, the Gini index

Use of power-law analysis to predict abuse or diversion of prescribed medications: proof-of-concept mathematical exploration

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective To conduct a proof-of-concept study comparing Lorenz-curve analysis (LCA) with power-law (exponential function) analysis (PLA), by applying segmented regression modeling to 1-year prescription claims data for three medications—alprazolam ...
