Robust inequality comparisons [PDF]

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

Parametric Lorenz curves based on the beta system of distributions

, 2021
Some families of Lorenz curves only approximate specific segments of the income distribution. This potential limitation motivates the consideration of more flexible models, which depart from a convenient form of the Lorenz curve.

TWO NEW EXPONENTIAL FAMILIES OF LORENZ CURVES [PDF]

We present two new Lorenz curve families by using the basic model proposed by Sarabia, Castillo and Slottje (1999). We present estimations which show that the models in our new families are very efficient when applied to data on income distribution for a

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 ...
