Poverty measures and poverty orderings.

Miguel A. Sordo, Héctor M. Ramos, Carmen D. Ramosm (2007)

SORT

Similarity:

We examine the conditions under which unanimous poverty rankings of income distributions can be obtained for a general class of poverty indices. The "per-capita income gap" and the Shorrocks and Thon poverty measures are particular members of this class. The conditions of dominance are stated in terms of comparisons of the corresponding TIP curves and areas.

On the ratio of gamma and Rayleigh random variables

Saralees Nadarajah (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The gamma and Rayleigh distributions are two of the most applied distributions in engineering. Motivated by engineering issues, the exact distribution of the quotient X/Y is derived when X and Y are independent gamma and Rayleigh random variables. Tabulations of the associated percentage points and a computer program for generating them are also given.

On a general structure of the bivariate FGM type distributions

Sayed Mohsen Mirhosseini, Mohammad Amini, Ali Dolati (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, we study a general structure for the so-called Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family of bivariate distributions. Through examples we show how to use the proposed structure to study dependence properties of the FGM type distributions by a general approach.
