Minimum Distance Testing and Top Income Shares in Korea
We study Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit tests for evaluating distributional hypotheses where unknown parameters need to be fitted. Following work of Pollard (1979), our approach uses a Cramérvon Mises minimum distance estimator for parameter estimation. The asymptotic null distribution of the resulting test statistic is represented by invariance principle arguments as a functional of a Brow...
متن کاملTop income shares in Canada: recent trends and policy implications
According to Canadian taxfiler data, over the last thirty years there has been a surge in the income shares of the top 1%, top 0.1% and top 0.01% of income recipients, even with longitudinal smoothing by individual using three- or five-year moving averages. Top shares fell in 2008 and 2009, but only by a fraction of the overall surge. Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario have much more pronou...
متن کاملMinimum Risk Distance Measure for Object Recognition
The optimal distance measure for a given discrimination task under the nearest neighbor framework has been shown to be the likelihood that a pair of measurements have different class labels [5]. For implementation and efficiency considerations, the optimal distance measure was approximated by combining more elementary distance measures defined on simple feature spaces. In this paper, we address...
متن کاملHausdorff distance-based multiresolution maps applied to image similarity measure
Image comparison is widely used in image processing. For binary images that are not composed of a single shape, a local comparison can be interesting because the features are usually poor (colour) or difficult to extract (texture, forms). Thus a new binary image comparison method that uses a windowed Hausdorff distance is presented. It enables local dissimilarities to be quantified in a simple ...
متن کاملVolatile Top Income Shares in Switzerland? Reassessing the Evolution Between 1981 and 2010∗
We study the recent evolution of top incomes in Switzerland, analyzing both social security data on labor incomes and tax data on total income. The results show that in the last 20 years, the share of top incomes has risen, and the top 0.01% share even doubled, putting Switzerland similar to European countries for the top 1% group but closer to the U.S. for higher top incomes. However, top inco...
