Tsallis Maximum Entropy Lorenz Curves
In this paper, at first we derive a family of maximum Tsallis entropy distributions under optional side conditions on the mean income and the Gini index. Furthermore, corresponding with these distributions a family of Lorenz curves compatible with the optional side conditions is generated. Meanwhile, we show that our results reduce to Shannon entropy as $beta$ tends to one. Finally, by using ac...
متن کاملRanking intersecting Lorenz curves
Ranking Intersecting Lorenz Curves 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 situations two alternative sequences of nested dominance criteria between Lorenz curves are introduced. At ...
متن کاملComparison of airborne laser scanning methods for estimating forest structure indicators based on Lorenz curves
rization of vegetation, airborne laser scanning (ALS) remote nsing allows for evaluating properties related to forest structure broad forest areas (Lefsky et al., 2005; Maltamo et al., 2005). ese properties can be exploited to study forest successional ages (Falkowski et al., 2009; Valbuena et al., 2013a), the risk of ild fire propagation (Andersen et al., 2005; Hall et al., 2005) or ind-throw ...
متن کاملRobust Lorenz Curves: A Semi-Parametric Approach
Lorenz curves and second-order dominance criteria are known to be sensitive to data contamination in the right tail of the distribution. We propose two ways of dealing with the problem: (1) Estimate Lorenz curves using parametric models for income distributions, and (2) Combine empirical estimation with a parametric (robust) estimation of the upper tail of the distribution using the Pareto mode...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Transformations and Lorenz Curves
In this study we reconsider the effect of variable transformations on the redistribution of income. Under the assumption that the theorems should hold for all income distributions, earlier given conditions are both necessary and sufficient. Different versions of the conditions are compared. We also consider the consequences if we drop the explicit continuity restriction on the transformations. ...
