In order to study phenomenon in detail that income distribution follows Pareto law, we analyze database of high income companies in Japan. We find a quantitative relation between average capital of the companies and the Pareto index, that the average capital becomes larger the Pareto index becomes smaller. From this relation, we point out a possibility we can explain that Pareto index of compan...

The use of conformity indices to optimize Gamma Knife planning is common, but does not address important tradeoffs between dose to tumor and normal tissue. Pareto analysis has been used for this purpose in other applications, but not for Gamma Knife (GK) planning. The goal of this work is to use computer models to show that Pareto analysis may be feasible for GK planning to identify dosimetric ...

Recent research on evolutionary multiobjective optimization has mainly focused on Pareto-fronts. However, we state that proper behavior of the utilized algorithms in decision/search space is necessary for obtaining good results if multimodal objective functions are concerned. Therefore, it makes sense to observe the development of Pareto-sets as well. We do so on a simple, configurable problem,...

Land-use allocation is of great significance in urban development. This type of allocation is usually considered to be a complex multi-objective spatial optimization problem, whose optimized result is a set of Pareto-optimal solutions (Pareto front) reflecting different tradeoffs in several objectives. However, obtaining a Pareto front is a challenging task, and the Pareto front obtained by sta...

In this paper we address the question of how many objective functions are really needed to decide whether a given point is Pareto optimal. We prove a reduction result for the case of quasi-convex objective functions and a convex feasible set. This result states that in order to decide whether a point x in the decision space is Pareto optimal it suuces to consider at most n + 1 objectives at a t...

Generalized Pareto distribution play an important role in reliability, extreme value theory, and other branches of applied probability and statistics. This family of distributions includes exponential distribution, Pareto distribution, and Power distribution. In this paper, we established exact expressions and recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments of generalized order statistic...
