Quantifying activity inequality using the modified Gini index, we found a strong correlation with obesity prevalence (R2 = 0.804) and a moderate correlation with perceived walkability (R2 = 0.426) and the activity gender gap (R2 = 0.385). This study demonstrates the value of digital health ...
Gini index (GI) is an outstanding sparsity index which has been widely applied in machinery fault diagnosis. It has been verified that GI has the most stable gradient property and has the best ability to distinguish impulsiveness and repetitive transients compared with the most-used sparsity indexe...
DEFINITION: Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against ...
The gap between the actual lines and the mythical line is a function of the degree of inequality; the 1992 line is further away from the heavy line than 1968's is. The Gini index measures the gap between the actual line and the 45° line. In the egalitarian society, the Gini would be...

The Gini Index for South Korea had ranged at about 0.32 in 2022. Income distribution in China The Gini coefficient is used to measure the income inequality of a country. The United States, the World Bank, the US Central Intelligence Agency, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and...
New York State also has the highest income inequality of all 50 states (although Washington, D.C., was worse). Below is a map showing three measures of income inequality for each state: the Gini index (which ranges from 0.0, when all households have equal shares of income, to 1.0, when...
Graphical Representation of the Gini Index The Gini index is often represented graphically through theLorenz curve, as depicted below, which shows income (or wealth) distribution by plotting the population percentile by income on the horizontal axis and cumulative income on the vertical axis. The Gin...
