A New Logit-Based Gini Coefficient

Radar Modulation Identification Using Gini ’ s Coefficient

In this paper, we proposed a method for radar modulation identification using power inequality in frequency domain. The four classes of radar signals are classified: unmodulated (UM), linear frequency modulation (LFM), non-linear frequency modulation (NLFM), and frequency shift keying (FSK). To measure the frequency inequality, Gini's coefficient was introduced and the maximum likelihood (ML) c...

Machine Cell Formation Based on a New Similarity Coefficient

One of the designs of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) requires that a machine population be partitioned into machine cells. Numerous methods are available for clustering machines into machine cells. One method involves using a similarity coefficient. Similarity coefficients between machines are not absolute, and they still need more attention from researchers. Although there are a number o...

A Rethink on Measuring Health Inequalities Using the Gini Coefficient

Objective: We show that a standardized Gini coefficient that takes into account the feasible range of health inequality for a given health attribute is a better instrument than the normal Gini coefficient for quantifying inter-individual health inequality. Methods: The standardized Gini coefficient is equal to the normal Gini coefficient divided by the maximal attainable Gini coefficient, which...

An approximation to the Gini coefficient for a population based on sparse information for sub- groups

distribution of physicians and hospital beds based on gini coefficient and lorenz curve: a national survey

introduction: inequality is prevalent in all sectors, particularly in distribution of and access to resources in the health sector. the aim of current study was to investigate the distribution of physicians and hospital beds in iran in 2001, 2006 and 2011. methods: this retrospective, cross-sectional study evaluated the distribution of physicians and hospital beds in 2001, 2006 and 2011 using g...
