Beta-analysis of an hierarchy of social-economic units
A method for analysis of conditional distribution of a hierarchy of units by a continual variable on the basis of beta-distribution is considered. The model permits visually to present shifts in distribution of affluence/poverty and of concentration in social groups of units with a certain level of assets. A model of households' income mobility based on beta-distribution is described. Estimated are critically low and critically high levels of incomes at which in the period considered poverty and affluence, respectively, are reproduced. For these estimations confidence intervals are obtained.
