内容简介: Low income proportion is an important
index in describing the inequality of an income distribution. It has been
widely used by governments in measuring social stability around the world.
Established inferential methods for this
index are based on the empirical estimator of the index. It may have poor finite sample performances when the real
income data is skewed or has outliers. In this paper, we propose a smooth
estimator of the low income proportion, and a smoothed jackknife empirical
likelihood approach for inferences of the low income proportion. Wilks theorem
is obtained for the proposed jackknife empirical likelihood ratio statistic.
Various confidence intervals based on the smooth estimator are constructed.
Extensive simulation studies are conducted to compare the finite sample
performances of the proposed intervals with some existing intervals. Finally,
the proposed methods are illustrated by a public income dataset of the
professors in University System of Georgia.
