This paper establishes the theoretical result that the sample $m$th Gini index is an unbiased estimator of the population $m$th Gini index, introduced by Gavilan-Ruiz (2024), for gamma-distributed populations. An illustrative Monte Carlo…
Difference in proportions is frequently used to measure treatment effect for binary outcomes in randomized clinical trials. The estimation of difference in proportions can be assisted by adjusting for prognostic baseline covariates to…
The Gini score is a popular tool in statistical modeling and machine learning for model validation and model selection. It is a purely rank based score that allows one to assess risk rankings. The Gini score for statistical modeling has…
Distance correlation is a new measure of dependence between random vectors. Distance covariance and distance correlation are analogous to product-moment covariance and correlation, but unlike the classical definition of correlation,…
This paper studies a class of rank-based inequality measures built from linear combinations of expected order statistics. The proposed framework unifies several well-known indices, including the classical Gini coefficient, the $m$th Gini…
The coefficient of variation (CV) is commonly used to measure relative dispersion. However, since it is based on the sample mean and standard deviation, outliers can adversely affect the CV. Additionally, for skewed distributions the mean…
The aim of this paper is to show a possibility to identify multivariate distribution by means of specially constructed one-dimensional random variable. We give some inequalities which may appear to helpful for a construction of multivariate…
We suggest a dependence coefficient between a categorical variable and some general variable taking values in a metric space. We derive important theoretical properties and study the large sample behaviour of our suggested estimator.…
The aim of this paper is to extend Azzalini's method. This extension is done in two stages: consider two dependent and non-identically distributed random variables say $X_1$ and $X_2$; model the dependence between $X_1$ and $X_2$ by a…
A coefficient is introduced that quantifies the extent of separation of a random variable $Y$ relative to a number of variables $\mathbf{X} = (X_1, \dots, X_p)$ by skillfully assessing the sensitivity of the relative effects of the…
We give an overview over the usefulness of the concept of equivariance and invariance in the design of experiments for generalized linear models. In contrast to linear models here pairs of transformations have to be considered which act…
Understanding and developing a correlation measure that can detect general dependencies is not only imperative to statistics and machine learning, but also crucial to general scientific discovery in the big data age. In this paper, we…
We introduce the notion of symmetric covariation, which is a new measure of dependence between two components of a symmetric $\alpha$-stable random vector, where the stability parameter $\alpha$ measures the heavy-tailedness of its…
This paper studies a very flexible model that can be used widely to analyze the relation between a response and multiple covariates. The model is nonparametric, yet renders easy interpretation for the effects of the covariates. The model…
Testing the independence between random vectors is a fundamental problem in statistics. Distance correlation, a recently popular dependence measure, is universally consistent for testing independence against all distributions with finite…
We study the evaluation of real-valued point predictors under the decision-theoretic framework of mean-consistent loss functions given by the Bregman divergences. We first derive a new version of Murphy's decomposition of the expected loss…
Multiple correlation is a fundamental concept with broad applications. The classical multiple correlation coefficient is developed to assess how strongly a dependent variable is associated with a linear combination of independent variables.…
Solutions of the bivariate, linear errors-in-variables estimation problem with unspecified errors are expected to be invariant under interchange and scaling of the coordinates. The appealing model of normally distributed true values and…
The simple linear model $$Y_i = \alpha + \beta \, x_i + \epsilon_i \qquad i=1,2, \ldots,N \geq 2$$ is considered, where the $x_i$'s are given constants and $\epsilon_1, \epsilon_2 , \ldots, \epsilon_N$ are iid with continuous distribution…
Statistical inference on the explained variation of an outcome by a set of covariates is of particular interest in practice. When the covariates are of moderate to high-dimension and the effects are not sparse, several approaches have been…
