Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has achieved sustained high-speed growth. However, the widening gaps in income, especially for rural China, seem to be a dark lining to these extraordinary achievements. Taking the duration of poverty into the consideration, this article analyzes the income inequality of rural per capita net income (RPCNI) based on income mobility in rural Ch...

OBJECTIVES With health inequalities high on the policy agenda, this study measures oral health inequalities in the UK. METHODS We compare an objective clinical measure of oral health (number of natural teeth) with a self-reported measure of the impact of oral health (the Oral Health Impact Profile, OHIP) to establish whether the type of measure affects the scale of inequality measured. Gini c...

In the paper, we obtain various bounds for more general weighted Gini mean difference of an empirical distribution, which extend the results of Cerone and Dragomir in [2].

We solve the nonlinear income tax program for rank-dependent social welfare functions, expressing trade-off between size and inequality using Gini related families of positional indices. Absent bunching, ranks in actual optimal allocations are invariant. Exploiting this feature, we provide new, simple, intuitive formulas both quasilinear additive cases new comparative static results. Our approa...

In this paper, we proposed a method for radar modulation identification using power inequality in frequency domain. The four classes of radar signals are classified: unmodulated (UM), linear frequency modulation (LFM), non-linear frequency modulation (NLFM), and frequency shift keying (FSK). To measure the frequency inequality, Gini's coefficient was introduced and the maximum likelihood (ML) c...

We look after the generalized inverses of power means in the family of Gini means and in the family of extended means. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26E60.

using satellite imagery for the study of earth's resources is attended by manyresearchers. in fact, the various phenomena have different spectral response inelectromagnetic radiation. one major application of satellite data is the classification ofland cover. in recent years, a number of classification algorithms have been developed forclassification of remote sensing data. one of the most nota...
