Gini coefficient as a life table function

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...

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...

Measuring health inequalities: Gini coefficient and concentration index.

The Gini coefficient: Majority voting and social welfare

Majority voting and social evaluation functions are the main alternatives proposed in the literature for aggregatingindividual preferences. Despite these being very different, this papershows that the ranking of income distributions, symmetric under the same transformation, by S-Gini consistent social evaluation functions and majority voting coincide if and only if the inequality index under co...

Measuring inequality in a cross-tabulation with ordered categories: from the Gini coefficient to the Tog coefficient

This paper introduces the Tog coefficient, which can be used to measure the level of inequality in a cross-tabulation of two ordinal-level variables. The Gini coefficient is a standard measure of income inequality which has been adapted by other authors for use in different contexts such as the measurement of health inequalities and the quantification of occupational segregation; the Tog coeffi...
