    Författare :Arne Sandström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; order statistics and concomitant of order statistics; functionals; stochastic differentials; weighted empirical distribution function; income inequality; Gini coefficient;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades the interest in measuring income inequality has substantially increased. In this work we consider measures related to the Lorenz Curve, e g the Gini coefficient. These measures are decomposable^ g the inequality in disposable income can be assigned to various income sources. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the issue of weighted cost-benefit analysis (WCBA). WCBA is a welfare evaluation model where income distribution effects are valued by distributional weighting. The method was developed already in the 1970s. The interest in and applications of this method have increased in the past decade, e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Essays on Distance Based (Non-Euclidean) Tests for Spatial Clustering in Inhomogeneous Populations : Adjusting for the Inhomogeneity through the Distance Used

    Författare :Ulla Romild; Johan Lyhagen; Anders Ågren; Jack Cuzick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Statistics; Clustering; Spatial Point Pattern; Inhomogeneous Density; Statistik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consits of four papers dealing with distance based (non-Euclidean) tests for spatial clustering in inhomogeneous populations. The density adjusted distance (DAD), which considers the underlying density, is defined in the first paper. LÄS MER
