Lognormal Lorenz and normal receiver operating characteristic curves as mirror images [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The Lorenz curve for assessing economic inequality depicts the relation between two cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), one for the distribution of incomes or wealth and the other for their first-moment distribution.

Modified Lorenz Curve and Its Computation
Desimal, 2020 The Lorenz curve is generally used to find out the inequality of income distribution. Mathematically a standard form of the Lorenz curve can be modified with the aim of simplicity of its symmetric analysis and calculation of the Gini coefficient that ...

Quantifying the Economic Development Dynamics of a Country Based on the Lorenz Curve
E+M Ekonomie a Management, 2021 The welfare of a country depends on its economic development. In order to have the impact on it, we should have a possibility to quantitatively assess its situation at the desired point in time.

Quantum relative Lorenz curves [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2017 The theory of majorization and its variants, including thermomajorization, have been found to play a central role in the formulation of many physical resource theories, ranging from entanglement theory to quantum thermodynamics. Here we formulate the framework of quantum relative Lorenz curves, and show how it is able to unify majorization ...

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?

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.

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)

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.
