A Poisson Binomial distribution over n variables is the distribution of the sum of n independent Bernoullis. We provide a sample near-optimal algorithm for testing whether a distribution P supported on {0, . . . , n} to which we have sample access is a Poisson Binomial distribution, or far from all Poisson Binomial distributions. The sample complexity of our algorithm is O(n) to which we provid...

we derive whole series of new integral inequalities of the hardy-type, with non-conjugate exponents. first, we prove and discuss two equivalent general inequa-li-ties of such type, as well as their corresponding reverse inequalities. general results are then applied to special hardy-type kernel and power weights. also, some estimates of weight functions and constant factors are obtained. ...

in order to estimate the effects of the macrc~econornic indicators on the income distribution of iran, the time series data during the period of 1971-1991 were used. first the yammetric inequality indicators (the gini coefficients) were estimated for the years 1991-1972. the results show the lowest level of inequality in 1980 with g=0.42 and the highest level in 1982 with g=0.55. arzulysing the...

equitable distribution of income and economic growth are challenges for policy-makers. therefore, it is important to investigate the influencing factors of it. given that financial development is an important factor affecting on income inequality, in this study, the effect of financial development on the gini coefficient as income inequality index is examined with using panel data methods durin...

In this manuscript, a new class of extended (m1,m2)-convex and concave functions is introduced. After some properties of (m1,m2)-convex functions have been given, the inequalities obtained with Hölder and Hölder-İşcan and power-mean and improwed power-mean integral inequalities have been compared and it has been shown that the inequality with Hölder-İşcan inequality gives a better approach than...

background exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to 2005-2010 in iran.   methods required data were drawn from two iran’s demographic and health survey (dhs) conducted in 2000 and 2010. normalized...
