This need to know the entire Lorenz curve arises already when the Intention is merely to extract e.g. the Gini concentration ratio with a reasonable degree of accuracy, and it becomes more urgent when the informational content of such unidimensional inequality measures is to be supplemented by ...
ρ = 28 and β = 8/3 -- and fed them to his computer, which proceeded to calculate how the variables would change over time. To visualize the data, he used each three-number output as coordinates in three-dimensional space. What the computer drew was a wondrous...
Explain how to calculate the variance and standard deviation of a given set of data. The class of 2x2 bimatrix games with a unique and completely mixed strategy Nash equilibrium is given by the game below. Find the equilibrium. Note: a,b,c,d greater than 0. Do you expect this mixed ...
Economic migration involves flows of labor, human capital, and other production factors.At least in theory, it contributes to a more efficient allocation of resources and alarger welfare of nations. However, the distributional effects of migration may changethe skill composition of labor in the rece...
Binding of arrestin to phosphorylated G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) controls many aspects of cell signaling. The number and arrangement of phosphates may vary substantially for a given GPCR, and different phosphorylation patterns trigger different arrestin-mediated effects. Here, we determine how ...
ButPaula Messina, a geologist at San Jose State,used GPS to create a digital mapof the tracks and found that most were, in fact, not parallel. Furthermore, wind-based models were thrown into doubt when researchers attempted to calculate the wind speeds necessary to move the...
Capgemini says its model covers 71 countries using the “Capgemini Lorenz curve methodology,” which is built in two stages. First they calculate a country’s total wealth, then they calculate how that wealth is distributed. Credit Suisse says its methodology is “robust” but like the others...
In contrast to the available methods that calculate the needed sample size a priori, the proposed process is based on the evaluation of the predictive accuracy and the calculation of the economic value of the classifier. The predictive accuracy of classifiers with dichotomous outcomes can be calcula...
We used several sources to compile this retail price database and calculate the national average price in US$ across different markets for each of the commodity prices. We used prices in US$ to avoid the problem of strong inflationary shocks, which are difficult to control for, but provided ...
Based on this conversion formula, we introduce a somewhat universal model for the GL curve of the empirical size-frequency distribution. This study's approach to determining the GL curve is indirect, as we obtain our model for the size-frequency framework by modelling the rank-size distribution ...
