Estimating Disease Risk Using Lorenz Curve and Negative Binomial Regression [PDF]
المجلة المصرية للسکـان وتنظيم الأسرة, 2004 The paper proposes a parametric approach to estimate the Lorenz curve and the Gini index in the context of describing exposure-disease association. Nonparametric bootstrap statistical inference method is employed for generating estimates of statistical ...

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

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?

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.

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.

Ranking intersecting Lorenz curves [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2004 This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such situations two alternative sequences of nested dominance criteria between Lorenz curves are ...

An Exponential Family of Lorenz Curves [PDF]
Southern 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.

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)
