The Gini index is probably the most commonly used indicator to measure inequality. For
continuous distributions, the Gini index can be computed using several equivalent …

Many poverty measures are estimated by using sample data collected from social surveys.
Two examples are the poverty gap and the poverty severity indices. A novel method for the …

Many companies use sampling plans for the acceptance or rejection of lots of products. The
final outcome of this decision-making process is based on the inspection of a sample of …

Average levels of well-being across countries and time periods have been reported widely
over the years as one of the measures that go beyond the Gross Domestic Product. It is …

Confidence intervals for the population variance in the presence of outliers or spikes in the
distribution of a variable of interest are topics that have not been investigated in depth …

In economic studies researchers are often interested in the estimation of the distribution
function or certain functions of the distribution function such as quantiles. This work focuses …

In this article, a modified principal component calibration estimator is proposed by using
second moments of principal components for estimating the population total in survey …

In this paper we consider the problem of estimation of population mean in circular systematic
sampling design along with the non-responseproblem. For the population mean using …

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the finite population cumulative
distribution function (CDF) in a complex survey sampling, which includes two-stage and …
