A methodology to determine the maximum value of weighted Gini–Simpson index
Weighted Gini-Simpson index is an analytical tool that promises to be widely used concerning biological and economics applications, relative to the assessment of diversity measured by compositional proportions of a system defined with a finite number of elementary states characterized by positive weights. In this paper, a current literature review on the theme is presented and the mathematical ...
متن کاملThe Gini Index of Speech
In which representation is speech most sparse? Time-scale? Time-frequency? Which window generator and length should be used to create the sparsest decomposition? To answer these questions, we propose the Gini index, which is twice the area between the Lorenz curve and the 45 degree line, as a measure of signal sparsity. The Gini index, introduced in 1912, is one of the most common measures of i...
متن کاملReliable Inference for the Gini Index
Although attention has been given to obtaining reliable standard errors for the plugin estimator of the Gini index, all standard errors suggested until now are either complicated or quite unreliable. An approximation is derived for the estimator by which it is expressed as a sum of IID random variables. This approximation allows us to develop a reliable standard error that is simple to compute....
متن کاملThe Gini Index and Measures of Inequality
The Gini index is a summary statistic that measures how equitably a resource is distributed in a population; income is a primary example. In addition to a self-contained presentation of the Gini index, we give two equivalent ways to interpret this summary statistic: first in terms of the percentile level of the person who earns the average dollar, and second in terms of how the lower of two ran...
متن کاملOn Weighted Simpson Type Inequalities and Applications
In this paper we establish some weighted Simpson type inequalities and give several applications for the r − moments and the expectation of a continuous random variable. An approximation for Euler’s Beta mapping is given as well.
