Measuring distances in a multidimensional setting is a challenging problem, which appears in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, to measure the distance between two multivariate distributions, we introduce a new measure…
In this paper, we obtain an upper bound for the Gini mean difference based on mean, variance and correlation for the case when the variables are correlated. We also derive some closed-form expressions for the Gini mean difference when the…
In 1938, Gini studied a mean having two parameters. Later, many authors studied properties of this mean. In particular, it contains the famous means as harmonic, geometric, arithmetic, etc. Here we considered a sequence of inequalities…
The Gini's mean difference was defined as the expected absolute difference between a random variable and its independent copy. The corresponding normalized version, namely Gini's index, denotes two times the area between the egalitarian…
We examine the efficiency of the mean deviation and Gini's mean difference (the mean of all pairwise distances). Our findings support the viewpoint that Gini's mean difference combines the advantages of the mean deviation and the standard…
The distance standard deviation, which arises in distance correlation analysis of multivariate data, is studied as a measure of spread. The asymptotic distribution of the empirical distance standard deviation is derived under the assumption…
We consider Gini's mean difference statistic as an alternative to the empirical variance in the settings of finite populations where simple random samples are drawn without replacement. In particular, we discuss specific (in the finite…

Nearest neighbor cells in $R^d,d\in\mathbb{N}$, are used to define coefficients of divergence ($\phi$-divergences) between continuous multivariate samples. For large sample sizes, such distances are shown to be asymptotically normal with a…
We consider mappings satisfying an upper bound for the distortion of families of curves. We establish lower bounds for the distortion of distances under such mappings. As applications, we obtain theorems on the discreteness of the limit…
A behavior of one class of mappings with finite distortion at a neighborhood of the origin is investigated. There is proved a lower estimate of distortion of a distance under mappings mentioned above.
Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a general theory for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width. Fixed sample size…
Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…
The measurement of distance between two objects is generalized to the case where the objects are no longer points but are one-dimensional. Additional concepts such as non-extensibility, curvature constraints, and non-crossing become central…
In this paper we will show that the Gini coefficient and the introduced measure of angular inequality are special cases of a wider indexed family of measurements. We will discuss the properties of the defined class based, inter alia, on a…

We consider the problem of finding, for a given quadratic measure of non-uniformity of a set of $N$ points (such as $L_2$ star-discrepancy or diaphony), the asymptotic distribution of this discrepancy for truly random points in the limit…
In many applications it is important to know whether the amount of fluctuation in a series of observations changes over time. In this article, we investigate different tests for detecting change in the scale of mean-stationary time series.…
For arbitrary two probability measures on real d-space with given means and variances (covariance matrices), we provide lower bounds for their total variation distance. In the one-dimensional case, a tight bound is given.
