This paper examines the properties of the Gini coefficient estimator for gamma mixture populations and reveals the presence of bias. In contrast, we show that sampling from a gamma distribution yields an unbiased estimator, consistent with…
In this paper, we derive a general representation for the expectation of the Gini coefficient estimator in terms of the Laplace transform of the underlying distribution, together with the mean and the Gini coefficient of its exponentially…
The zero-truncated Poisson distributions are certain discrete probability distributions whose supports are the set of positive integers, which are also known as the conditional Poisson distributions or the positive Poisson distributions. In…
In this paper, we introduce the degenerate zero-truncated Poisson random variables whose probability mass functions are a natural extension of the zero-truncated Poisson distributions, and investigate various properties of those random…
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…
The problem of estimating the ratio of the means of a two-component Poisson mixture model is considered, when each component is subject to zero-inflation, i.e., excess zero counts. The. resulting {\it zero-inflated Poisson mixture (ZIPM)…
We propose a novel statistical inference methodology for multiway count data that is corrupted by false zeros that are indistinguishable from true zero counts. Our approach consists of zero-truncating the Poisson distribution to neglect all…
This paper proposes a new generalized linear model with the fractional binomial distribution. Zero-inflated Poisson/negative binomial distributions are used for count data with many zeros. To analyze the association of such a count variable…
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 $1 \leqslant i \leqslant m$.…
One aspect of Poisson approximation is that the support of the random variable of interest is often finite while the support of the Poisson distribution is not. In this paper we will remedy this by examining truncated negative binomial (of…
The workhorse model for zero-truncated count data (y = 1, 2, ...) is the zero-truncated negative binomial (ZTNB) model. We find it should seldom be used. Instead, we recommend the one-inflated zero-truncated negative binomial (OIZTNB) model…
In this paper, we have established a new framework of truncated inverse sampling for estimating mean values of non-negative random variables such as binomial, Poisson, hyper-geometrical, and bounded variables. We have derived explicit…
This paper presents an analysis of the Theil and Atkinson index estimators for gamma populations, highlighting the presence of bias in both cases. Theoretical expressions for the biases are obtained, and bias-corrected estimators are…
We study an unbiased estimator for the density of a sum of random variables that are simulated from a computer model. A numerical study on examples with copula dependence is conducted where the proposed estimator performs favourably in…
The Gini index is a popular inequality measure with many applications in social and economic studies. This paper studies semiparametric inference on the Gini indices of two semicontinuous populations. We characterize the distribution of…
We generalize the na\"ive estimator of a Poisson regression model with measurement errors as discussed in Kukush et al. [1]. The explanatory variable is not always normally distributed as they assume. In this study, we assume that the…
Suppose that $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ are a stream of independent, identically distributed Poisson random variables with mean $\mu$. This work presents a new estimate $\mu_k$ for $\mu$ with the property that the distribution of the relative error…
We introduce the Poisson tensor completion (PTC) estimator that exploits inter-sample relationships to compute a low-rank Poisson tensor decomposition of the frequency histogram for samples of a multivariate distribution. Our crucial…
In this paper, we introduce a novel flexible Gini index, referred to as the extended Gini index, which is defined through ordered differences between the $j$th and $k$th order statistics within subsamples of size $m$, for indices satisfying…
The main object of this article is to present an extension of the zero-inflated Poisson-Lindley distribution, called of zero-modified Poisson-Lindley. The additional parameter $\pi$ of the zero-modified Poisson-Lindley has a natural…
