Modeling Income Distributions Using Elevated Distributions
We present a two parameter family of continuous distribution on a bounded domain which has an elevated but finite density value at its lower bound. Such a characteristic appears to be useful, for example, when representing income distributions at lower income ranges. The family generalizes the one parameter Topp and Leone distribution originated in the 1950's and recently rediscovered. The fami...
متن کاملInference on Income Distributions
This paper attempts to provide a synthetic view of varied techniques available for performing inference on income distributions. Two main approaches can be distinguished: one in which the object of interest is some index of income inequality or poverty, the other based on notions of stochastic dominance. From the statistical point of view, many techniques are common to both approaches, although...
متن کاملAnnealing between distributions by averaging moments
Many powerful Monte Carlo techniques for estimating partition functions, such as annealed importance sampling (AIS), are based on sampling from a sequence of intermediate distributions which interpolate between a tractable initial distribution and an intractable target distribution. The nearuniversal practice is to use geometric averages of the initial and target distributions, but alternative ...
متن کاملAveraging continuous distributions with the WOWA operator
The basic operations for combining real values in the frame of decision analysis are the Weighted Mean (WM) and the Ordered Weighted Averaging operator (OWA). The weighted mean allows the system to compute an aggregate value from the ones coming from several sources, taking into account the reliability of each information source. Alternatively, the OWA operator allows the user to weight the val...
متن کاملSpatial averaging of time-frequency distributions
This paper presents a novel approach based on time-frequency distributions (TFDs) for separating signals received by a multiple antenna array. This approach provides a significant improvement in performance over the recently introduced spatial time-frequency distributions, specifically for signals with close time-frequency signatures. In this approach, spatial averaging of the time-frequency di...
