چکیده

The First Part of this paper deals with the study of the precision of an unbiased estimator of a population income inequality index in the stratified samplings with and without replacement. In this Second Part, we first analyze the asymptotic distribution of the sample income inequality index. Then, we establish different criteria to select the suitable sample size to estimate the population index with a desired degree of precision. One of these criteria is based on Chebyshev's approach and the other one follows from the preceding asymptotic study.

Estimating income inequality in the stratified sampling from complete data. I. The unbiased estimation and applications

In order to answer the problem of quantifying the degree of unequalness among the individual shares in the distribution of income, several authors proposed and characterized the well-known additively decomposable measures of relative income inequality. In a previous paper, Perez, Caso and Gil [12] verified that for a large uncensused population of income earners, the additively decomposable ind...

Parametric Lorenz Curves and its Relationship with Reliability Indicators

The problem of poverty can not be considered without paying care to the topic of income distribution. In fact, the concept of poverty refers to the lowest class in the distribution of income, and inequality in the income distribution is related to all stages of society. Based on the income distributions that are unfairly priced, many indices have been developed to measure the size of inequality...

Estimating Variance of the Sample Mean in Two-phase Sampling with Unit Non-response Effect

In sample surveys, we always deal with two types of errors: Sampling error and non-sampling error. One of the most common non-sampling errors is nonresponse. This error happens when some sample units are not observed or viewed but they do not answer some of the questions. The complete prevention of this error is not possible, but it can be significantly reduced. The non-response causes bias and ...
