On the Influence Function for the Theil-Like Class of Inequality Measures

On one hand, a large class of inequality measures, which includes the generalized entropy, the Atkinson, the Gini, etc., for example, has been introduced in P.D. Mergane, G.S. Lo, Appl. Math. 4 (2013), 986–1000. On the other hand, the influence function (IF) of statistics is an important tool in the...

Zusammenfassung:On one hand, a large class of inequality measures, which includes the generalized entropy, the Atkinson, the Gini, etc., for example, has been introduced in P.D. Mergane, G.S. Lo, Appl. Math. 4 (2013), 986–1000. On the other hand, the influence function (IF) of statistics is an important tool in the asymptotics of a nonparametric statistic. This function has been and is being determined and analyzed in various aspects for a large number of statistics. We proceed to a unifying study of the IF of all the members of the so-called Theil-like family and regroup those IF ’s in one formula. Comparative studies become easier.
