Estimation of the Gini coefficient for the lognormal distribution of income using the Lorenz curve
The main objective of the study is to compare the Newton-Cotes methods such as the Trapezium rule, Simpson 1/3 rule and Simpson 3/8 rule to estimate the area under the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient of income using polynomial function with degree 5. Comparing the Gini coefficients of income computed from the Polynomial function with degree 5 for the Trapezium, Simpson 1/3 and Simpson 3/8 met...

متن کاملSelection using Gini Measure of Income Inequality
A variety of measures are used to compare income inequalities, many of which have been derived from Lorenz curve. However, classical Gini coefficient and its variations are probably the most commonly used measures of income inequality. They are considered as the best measures by many scientists, but it is also recognized that the choice of age-grouping affects the Gini measures (Formby, et al. ...
