On the bias of the Gini coefficient estimator for zero-truncated Poisson distributions
By: Roberto Vila, Helton Saulo
Potential Business Impact:
Fixes unfairness in counting things that happen sometimes.
This paper analyzes the Gini coefficient estimator for zero-truncated Poisson populations, revealing the presence of bias, and provides a mathematical expression for the bias, along with a bias-corrected estimator, which is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation methods.
