Testing normality is very important because the most common assumption is normality in statistical analysis. We propose a new plot and test statistic to goodness-of-fit test for normality based on the generalized Lorenz curve. We compare the new plot with the Q-Q plot. We also compare the new test statistic with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), Cramer-von Mises (CVM), Anderson-Darling (AD), Shapiro-Francia (SF), and Shapiro-Wilks (W) test statistic in terms of the power of the test through by Monte Carlo method. As a result, new plot is clearly classified normality and non-normality than Q-Q plot; in addition, the new test statistic is more powerful than the other test statistics for asymmetrical distribution. We check the proposed test statistic and plot using Hodgkin's disease data.

The problem of examining how well an assumed distribution fits the data of a sample is of significant and must be examined prior to any inferential process. The observed failure time data of items are often not wholly available in reliability and life-testing studies. Lowering the expense and period associated with tests is important in statistical tests with censored data. Goodness-of-fit tests for perfect data can no longer be used when the observed failure time data are progressive Type II censored (PC) data. Therefore, we propose goodness-of-fit test statistics and a graphical method based on generalized Lorenz curve for PC data from a location-scale distribution. The power of the proposed tests is then assessed through Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we analyzed two real data set for illustrative purposes.

통계학에서 사용되어지고 있는 Gumbel 분포는 환경과학, 시스템 신뢰성, 수문학과 같은 분야에서 많이 응용되고 있다. 따라서 환경과학, 시스템 신뢰성, 수문학과 관련된 자료를 분석함에 있어서 분석에 사용되어지는 자료가 Gumbel 분포를 따르는지 확인하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이를 확인하기 위해 본 논문에서는 새로운 두 가지의 Gumbel 분포의 적합도 검정통계량을 일반화된 로렌츠 곡선을 기반으로 하여 제안하였고, Anderson - Darling 검정, Cramer - vonMises 검정, 수정된 Anderson - Darling 검정과 비교하였다. 그 결과 새롭게 제안한 검정통계량은 기존의 검정방법에 비하여 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 새롭게 제안한 변형된 표본 일반화된 로렌츠 곡선을 이용하여 두 가지의 새로운 적합도 검정 그래프 방법을 제안하였고, 새롭게 제안된 그래프를 통하여 손쉽게 데이터가 Gumbel 분포를 따르는지를 파악 할 수 있었다. 또한 호주 시드니의 연간 일 최대 강수량 자료를 사용하여 새롭게 제안한 검정 통계량과 그래프 방법을 이용하여 적용해 보았다.

This article analyzes the factors affecting income inequality in Vietnam, with data from 63 provinces and cities collected from the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam from 2010 to 2018. The article will firstly build a research model to identify factors affecting income inequality. Then, it uses the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method to evaluate the effect of factors on income inequality in Vietnam. The empirical estimate result shows that, in the period from 2010 to 2018, the factors such as the proportion of the working employees, income per capita, and inflation have positive effects on the Gini coefficient. That is, when these factors increase, there will be negative effects on improving income inequality in Vietnam. Conversely, when the factors such as the proportion of the literate adults, the proportion of the urban population, and population density increase they will have a positive impact on improving income inequality in Vietnam during this period. The estimated coefficients satisfied the sign expectation except the proportion of the literate adults. It means that, in Vietnam, the increase and more equilibrium in educational attainment balance the distribution of income and bring an improvement in income inequality.
