A Novel Lifetime Model With A Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate: Properties & Applications

open access: yesJournal of Applied Science and Engineering, 2022
A novel three-parameter lifetime model called the Marshall Olkin power Ailamujia (MOPA) distribution is developed. The statistical qualities and reliability characteristics of the proposed model are examined, including moment, generating function ...

GROSS INLAND ENERGY CONSUMPTION INEQUALITY IN EUROPE: AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH

open access: yesRevista de Economía Mundial, 2018
This paper analyses the gross inland energy consumption (EC) in the European Union countries (EU-15) over the period 2005-2014. The standard tools in the measurement of income inequality such as Lorenz curves, Gini index, Generalized Entropy indices and ...

Lorenz Curves, Size Classification, and Dimensions of Bubble Size Distributions

open access: yesEntropy, 2009
Lorenz curves of bubble size distributions and their Gini coefficients characterize demixing processes. Through a systematic size classification, bubble size histograms are generated and investigated concerning their statistical entropy.

Tsallis Log-Scale-Location Models. Moments, Gini Index and Some Stochastic Orders

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In this article we give theoretical results for different stochastic orders of a log-scale-location family which uses Tsallis statistics functions. These results describe the inequalities of moments or Gini index according to parameters.

Inequalities in out-of-pocket health expenditure among women of reproductive age: after-effects of national health insurance scheme initiation in Ghana

open access: yesJournal of the Egyptian Public Health Association, 2021
Background Improvement in maternal healthcare is a public health priority. Unfortunately, in spite of the efforts made over time regarding universal coverage, there remain issues with accessibility and use of healthcare services up to now. In this study,

Quantile versions of the Lorenz curve

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Statistics, 2016
The classical Lorenz curve is often used to depict inequality in a population of incomes, and the associated Gini coefficient is relied upon to make comparisons between different countries and other groups. The sample estimates of these moment-based concepts are sensitive to outliers and so we investigate the extent to which quantile-based definitions ...

Comparison of five equations in describing the variation of leaf area distributions of Alangium chinense (Lour.) Harms

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Previous studies have validated a performance equation (PE) and its generalized version (GPE) in describing the rotated and right-shifted Lorenz curves of organ size (e.g., leaf area and fruit volume) distributions of herbaceous plants.

Strassen's LIL for the Lorenz Curve

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 1996
The authors prove Strassen's law of the iterated logarithm for the Lorenz process assuming that the underlying d.f. \(F\) and its inverse \(F^{-1}\) are continuous and the moment \(EX^{2+u}\) is finite for some \(u>0\). Previously, the first author, \textit{S. Csörgö} and \textit{L.
