Selection 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. ...
متن کاملSparsity Measure of a Network Graph: Gini Index
This article examines the application of a popular measure of sparsity, Gini Index, on network graphs. A wide variety of network graphs happen to be sparse. But the index with which sparsity is commonly measured in network graphs is edge density, reflecting the proportion of the sum of the degrees of all nodes in the graph compared to the total possible degrees in the corresponding fully connec...
متن کاملGeneralized Gini and Concentration coefficients (with factor decomposition) in Stata
This document describes sgini, a lightweight command for calculations of generalized Gini (a.k.a. S-Gini) and Concentration coefficients from unit-record data (not grouped data) in Stata. sgini computes relative (scale invariant) Gini indices of inequality by default but can be requested to produce absolute (translation invariant) indices or aggregate welfare S-Gini indices. The command can als...
متن کاملOn a Distance Function-Based Inequality Measure in the Spirit of the Bonferroni and Gini Indices
A natural way of viewing an inequality or a poverty measure is in terms of the vector distance between an actual (empirical) distribution of incomes and some appropriately normative distribution (reflecting a perfectly equal distribution of incomes, or a distribution with the smallest mean that is compatible with a complete absence of poverty). Real analysis offers a number of distance function...
متن کاملOn the Decomposition of the Self-Organizing Map Distortion Measure
Assessment of model properties with respect to data is important for reliable analysis of data. After training, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) can be assessed, for instance, with respect to its quantization or its topology preservation properties with onenumber summaries. In this paper, we present a decomposition of the SOM distortion measure for measuring different aspects of the SOM for map units ...
