Concepts of Reliability Theory and Their Relationship with the Economic Inequality indicators
پژوهشهای ریاضی, 2020 Introduction One of the intersecting aspects of the reliability theory and economics is investigating non-negative data generally skewed (lifetimes and income), extrapolation of a suitable model for the data and finding their characteristics ...

Single Crossing Lorenz Curves and Inequality Comparisons [PDF]
Since the order generated by the Lorenz criterion is partial, it is a natural question to wonder how to extend this order. Most of the literature that is concerned with that question focuses on local changes in the income distribution.

The Lorenz curve in economics and econometrics [PDF]
This paper surveys selected applications of the Lorenz curve and related stochastic orders in economics and econometrics, with a bias towards problems in statistical distribution theory. These include characterizations of income distributions in terms of

Foam Decay with Incomparable Lorenz Curves
, 2015 The decay of beer foam is recorded by evaluating pictures, measuring the bubble sizes. We use Lorenz curves in order to avoid the problem of bubble size classification, which is naturally connected with the estimation of a classical distribution function.

Modelling Lorenz Curves: Robust and Semi-parametric Issues [PDF]
, 2007 Modelling Lorenz curves (LC) for stochastic dominance comparisons is central to the analysis of income distributions. It is conventional to use non-parametric statistics based on empirical income cumulants which are used in the construction of LC and ...

Analysis of Water Utilization Structure in Huizhou Based on Lorenz Curves and Gini Coefficients
Renmin Zhujiang, 2020 In order to understand the water utilization structure of water-rich areas in southern China, this paper analyzes the water utilization structure of counties (districts) in Huizhou from 2013 to 2017 by using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. The results

, 2017 Existing HIV care cascade metrics fail to capture whether viremia is equally distributed in a population or concentrated within groups. We applied the Lorenz curve, which has been used to describe disparities in the distribution of income and other resources, to the distribution of viremia in a safety-net HIV clinic in 2012.
