The categorical Gini correlation, $\rho_g$, was proposed by Dang et al. to measure the dependence between a categorical variable, $Y$ , and a numerical variable, $X$. It has been shown that $\rho_g$ has more appealing properties than…
Semivariance is a measure of the dispersion of all observations that fall above the mean or target value of a random variable and it plays an important role in life-length, actuarial and income studies. In this paper, we develop a new…
Heavy-tailed distributions, such as the Cauchy distribution, are acknowledged for providing more accurate models for financial returns, as the normal distribution is deemed insufficient for capturing the significant fluctuations observed in…
