Estimation and goodness-of-fit testing for non-negative random variables with explicit Laplace transform
Lucio Barabesi, Antonio Di Noia, Marzia Marcheselli +2
Many flexible families of positive random variables exhibit non-closed forms of the density and distribution functions and this feature is considered unappealing for modelling purp…
Similarity matrix average for aggregating multiplex networks
Federica Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Eugenio Petrovich
We introduce a methodology based on averaging similarity matrices with the aim of integrating the layers of a multiplex network into a single monoplex network. Multiplex networks a…
Goodness-of-fit test for count distributions with finite second moment
Antonio Di Noia, Lucio Barabesi, Marzia Marcheselli +2
A goodness-of-fit test for one-parameter count distributions with finite second moment is proposed. The test statistic is derived from the distance of a function of the proba…
Tempered positive Linnik processes and their representations
Lorenzo Torricelli, Lucio Barabesi, Andrea Cerioli
This paper analyzes various classes of processes associated with the tempered positive Linnik (TPL) distribution. We provide several subordinated representations of TPL Lévy proces…
Similarity network fusion for scholarly journals
Federica Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Alberto Baccini +2
This paper explores intellectual and social proximity among scholarly journals by using network fusion techniques. Similarities among journals are initially represented by means of…
Intellectual and social similarity among scholarly journals: an exploratory comparison of the networks of editors, authors and co-citations
Alberto Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Mahdi Khelfaoui +1
This paper explores, by using suitable quantitative techniques, to what extent the intellectual proximity among scholarly journals is also a proximity in terms of social communitie…
On the agreement between bibliometrics and peer review: evidence from the Italian research assessment exercises
Alberto Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Giuseppe De Nicolao
This paper appraises the concordance between bibliometrics and peer review, by drawing evidence from the data of two experiments realized by the Italian governmental agency for res…
The tempered discrete Linnik distribution
Lucio Barabesi, Carolina Becatti, Marzia Marcheselli
A tempered version of the discrete Linnik distribution is introduced in order to obtain integer-valued distribution families connected to stable laws. The proposal constitutes a ge…
A functional derivative useful for the linearization of inequality indexes in the design-based framework
Lucio Barabesi, Giancarlo Diana, Pier Francesco Perri
Linearization methods are customarily adopted in sampling surveys to obtain approximated variance formulae for estimators of nonlinear functions of finite population totals - such…
Crossing the hurdle: the determinants of individual scientific performance
Alberto Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Martina Cioni +1
An original cross sectional dataset referring to a medium sized Italian university is implemented in order to analyze the determinants of scientific research production at individu…
A note on a universal random variate generator for integer-valued random variables
Lucio Barabesi, Luca Pratelli
A universal generator for integer-valued square-integrable random variables is introduced. The generator relies on a rejection technique based on a generalization of the inversion…
Statistical inference on the h-index with an application to top-scientist performance
Alberto Baccini, Lucio Barabesi, Marzia Marcheselli +1
Despite the huge amount of literature on h-index, few papers have been devoted to the statistical analysis of h-index when a probabilistic distribution is assumed for citation coun…
Properties of design-based estimation under stratified spatial sampling with application to canopy coverage estimation
Lucio Barabesi, Sara Franceschi, Marzia Marcheselli
The estimation of the total of an attribute defined over a continuous planar domain is required in many applied settings, such as the estimation of canopy coverage in the Monterano…
Statistical analysis of the Hirsch Index
Luca Pratelli, Alberto Baccini, Lucio Barabesi +1
The Hirsch index (commonly referred to as h-index) is a bibliometric indicator which is widely recognized as effective for measuring the scientific production of a scholar since it…
