Charting Income Inequality: The Lorenz Curve [PDF]

This paper explains how to build Lorenz Curves for income distributions and discusses their use for inequality measurement. A short conceptual background, a step-by-step procedure and a simple numerical example illustrate how to calculate and draw Lorenz

Strassen's LIL for the Lorenz Curve

Journal 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.

Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase activity as a potential predictor of methotrexate remission in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients don't respond. Low inosine‐triphosphate‐pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated ITPA role and the underlying mechanisms in vitro.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

The Beta Transmuted Weibull Distribution

Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2014
The paper introduces a beta transmuted Weibull distribution, which contains a number of distributions as special cases. The properties of the distribution are discussed and explicit expressions are derived for the mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
