Statistical Measurement of Income
While recent research on income polarization is based on only a few approaches, this paper portrays the major methods and applies each to income distributions of Germany (1984-2000) and the US (1984-1997) using the Cross-National Equivalent Files. In addition, statistical inference is provided via bootstrap techniques. Further, we combine kernel density estimation with a unimodality test. The e...
متن کاملComparison of Survival Forests in Analyzing First Birth Interval
Background and objectives: Application of statistical machine learning methods such as ensemble based approaches in survival analysis has been received considerable interest over the past decades in time-to-event data sets. One of these practical methods is survival forests which have been developed in a variety of contexts due to their high precision, non-parametric and non-linear nature. This...

متن کاملInference Methods on Income Inequality and Tax Progressivity Indices: An empirical application to Spanish data
This paper applies asymptotic and bootstrap inference methods for a set of non-linear inequality and progressivity indices. The non-degenerate U-statistic theory is applied to indices which are functions of several U-statistics. Generally, U-statistic variance estimators are difficult to compute. Formulae for a straightforward plug-in estimator of index variances have been derived. This is espe...
متن کاملInference on Income Distributions
This paper attempts to provide a synthetic view of varied techniques available for performing inference on income distributions. Two main approaches can be distinguished: one in which the object of interest is some index of income inequality or poverty, the other based on notions of stochastic dominance. From the statistical point of view, many techniques are common to both approaches, although...
