Frontiers in Plant SciencePrevious 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.

Characterizing compressibility with Lorenz curves [PDF]
2011 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory Proceedings, 2011 This paper revisits earlier work on rate distortion behavior of sparse sources, namely it highlights the fact that a graphical sparsity characterization proposed in [1] is a Lorenz curve, a tool for summarizing income inequality that has been used by economists for over a century. The Lorenz curve associated to a memoryless source can be used to obtain

Research in StatisticsThe increase in income and wealth inequality over the last 40 years in many countries has become a major issue in public policy. This paper introduces two curves, which are transforms of the Lorenz curve and their related measures.

La desigualdad económica medida a través de las curvas de Lorenz || Economic inequality measurement through Lorenz curves [PDF]
Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa, 2006 En el presente trabajo se analiza la influencia de las curvas de Lorenz, el Principio de Transferencias y las relaciones de mayoración entre vectores de renta sobre las medidas de desigualdad. De esta forma, se pasa revista al desarrollo histórico que ha

Truncated Lindley Gamma Distribution [PDF]
Delta Journal of Science, 2017 A new two-parameter truncated Lindley Gamma distribution (TLG) is proposed and its properties arestudied. These properties include; the behaviour of TLG density function and hazard rate function, moments and theassociated measures, reversed hazard ...

On Some Properties of a New Truncated Model With Applications to Lifetime Data
International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2022 This research explored the exponentiated left truncated power distribution which is a bounded model. Various statistical properties which include the moments and their associated measures, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, reliability measures, shapes ...

Estimating Lorenz Curves Using a Dirichlet Distribution. [PDF]
The Lorenz curve relates the cumulative proportion of income to the cumulative proportion of population. When a particular functional form of the Lorenz curve is specified it is typically estimated by linear or nonlinear least squares, estimation ...

From Inequality to Extremes and Back: A Lorenz Representation of the Pickands Dependence Function
MathematicsWe establish a correspondence between Lorenz curves and Pickands dependence functions, thereby reframing the construction of any bivariate extreme-value copula as an inequality problem.

The Minimum Lindley Lomax Distribution: Properties and Applications
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2022 By fusing the Lindley and Lomax distributions, we present a unique three-parameter continuous model titled the minimum Lindley Lomax distribution. The quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function, Lorenz and Bonferroni ...

Assessing Economic Inequality Through the Lorenz Curve in Central and Eastern European Countries [PDF]
Ovidius University Annals: Economic Sciences SeriesThis study analyses economic inequality in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) using tools such as the Lorenz Curve and the Gini coefficient. Originating in 1905, the Lorenz Curve, conceptualized by Max O.
