Abstract

Using the Lorenz curve that is proved to be a powerful tool to measure the income inequality within a population of income receivers, we propose the normalized sample Lorenz curve for the goodness-of-fit test that is very important test in statistical analysis. For two hodgkin's disease data sets, we compare the Q-Q plot and the proposed normalized sample Lorenz curve.
