With the growth of such fields as financial economics, so has the need for a thorough discussion of statistical size distributions. This volume studies the distributional and statistical properties (including characterizations, estimation of parameters, testing hypotheses, and stochastic order operations) of a multitude of distributions which are utilized as models of size and income in economics and actuarial sciences. Paying attention to some often-neglected, less-known distributions, the text offers an abundance of real-world data and interweaves a useful detailed historical survey of the subject.
Providing insight into a field of study that is now gaining global importance, this comprehensive treatment of statistical size distributions:
_ Describes in-full more than 25 models
_ Covers Lorenz curves, multimodal, and multivariate distributions
_ Pays specific attention to Italian, and to some degree Japanese sources
_ Emphasizes interrelations among various families
_ Accounts for more than 200 personal papers, theses, and technical reports by the authors, representing over 40 combined years of study and research
_ Opens a formerly European field to the global market
