In this paper, we propose two new flexible Gini indices (extended lower and upper) defined via differences between the $i$-th observation, the smallest order statistic, and the largest order statistic, for any $1 \leqslant i \leqslant m$.…

We propose an approach for testing the hypothesis that two realizations of the random variables in the form of histograms are taken from the same statistical population (i.e. that two histograms are drawn from the same distribution). The…

The normal distribution is well-known for several results that it is the only to fulfil. The aim of the present paper is to show that many of these characterizations actually follow from the fact that the derivative of the log-density of…

Partitioning a set of elements into subsets of a priori unknown sizes is essential in many applications. These subset sizes are rarely explicitly learned - be it the cluster sizes in clustering applications or the number of shared versus…
