Poverty in Germany – Statistical Inference and Decomposition

Statistical inference for poverty measures with relative poverty lines

Relative poverty lines such as one-half median income have been increasingly used in poverty studies. This paper contributes to the literature by developing statistical inference for testing decomposable poverty measures with relative poverty lines. The poverty lines we consider are percentages of mean income and percentages of quantiles. We show that the estimates of poverty indices with relat...

Procrustean statistical inference of deformations

A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...

Review of the Applications of Exponential Family in Statistical Inference

‎In this paper‎, ‎after introducing exponential family and a history of work done by researchers in the field of statistics‎, ‎some applications of this family in statistical inference especially in estimation problem‎,‎statistical hypothesis testing and statistical information theory concepts will be discussed‎.
