Gini-type correlation coefficients have become increasingly important in a variety of research areas, including economics, insurance and finance, where modelling with heavy-tailed distributions is of pivotal importance. In such situations, naturally, the classical Pearson correlation coefficient is of little use. On the other hand, it has been observed that when light-tailed situations are of interest, and hence when both the Gini-type and Pearson correlation coefficients are well-defined and finite, then these coefficients are related and sometimes even coincide. In general, understanding how the correlation coefficients above are related has been an illusive task. In this paper we put forward arguments that establish such a connection via certain regression-type equations. This, in turn, allows us to introduce a Gini-type Weighted Insurance Pricing Model that works in heavy-tailed situation and thus provides a natural alternative to the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model. We illustrate our theoretical considerations using several bivariate distributions, such as elliptical and those with heavy-tailed Pareto margins.

In this paper we propose a class of weighted rank correlation coefficients extending the Spearmans rho. The proposed class constructed by giving suitable weights to the distance between two sets of ranks to place more emphasis on items having low ran
kings than those have high rankings or vice versa. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed measures and properties of the parameters estimated by them are studied through the associated copula. A simulation study is performed to compare the performance of the proposed statistics for testing independence using asymptotic relative efficiency calculations.
We consider the fitting of heavy tailed data and distribution with a special attention to distributions with a non--standard shape in the body of the distribution. To this end we consider a dense class of heavy tailed distributions introduced recentl
y, employing an EM algorithm for the the maximum likelihood estimates of its parameters. We present methods for fitting to observed data, histograms, censored data, as well as to theoretical distributions. Numerical examples are provided with simulated data and a benchmark reinsurance dataset. We empirically demonstrate that our model can provide excellent fits to heavy--tailed data/distributions with minimal assumptions
The edges in networks are not only binary, either present or absent, but also take weighted values in many scenarios (e.g., the number of emails between two users). The covariate-$p_0$ model has been proposed to model binary directed networks with th
e degree heterogeneity and covariates. However, it may cause information loss when it is applied in weighted networks. In this paper, we propose to use the Poisson distribution to model weighted directed networks, which admits the sparsity of networks, the degree heterogeneity and the homophily caused by covariates of nodes. We call it the emph{network Poisson model}. The model contains a density parameter $mu$, a $2n$-dimensional node parameter ${theta}$ and a fixed dimensional regression coefficient ${gamma}$ of covariates. Since the number of parameters increases with $n$, asymptotic theory is nonstandard. When the number $n$ of nodes goes to infinity, we establish the $ell_infty$-errors for the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs), $hat{theta}$ and $hat{{gamma}}$, which are $O_p( (log n/n)^{1/2} )$ for $hat{theta}$ and $O_p( log n/n)$ for $hat{{gamma}}$, up to an additional factor. We also obtain the asymptotic normality of the MLE. Numerical studies and a data analysis demonstrate our theoretical findings. ) for b{theta} and Op(log n/n) for b{gamma}, up to an additional factor.

We propose an extended version of Gini index defined on the set of infinite utility streams, $X=Y^mathbb{N}$ where $Ysubset mathbb{R}$. For $Y$ containing at most finitely many elements, the index satisfies the generalized Pigou-Dalton transfer principles in addition to the anonymity axiom.
In this paper, we introduce a new three-parameter distribution based on the combination of re-parametrization of the so-called EGNB2 and transmuted exponential distributions. This combination aims to modify the transmuted exponential distribution via
the incorporation of an additional parameter, mainly adding a high degree of flexibility on the mode and impacting the skewness and kurtosis of the tail. We explore some mathematical properties of this distribution including the hazard rate function, moments, the moment generating function, the quantile function, various entropy measures and (reversed) residual life functions. A statistical study investigates estimation of the parameters using the method of maximum likelihood. The distribution along with other existing distributions are fitted to two environmental data sets and its superior performance is assessed by using some goodness-of-fit tests. As a result, some environmental measures associated with these data are obtained such as the return level and mean deviation about this level.
