Short-term Gini coefficient estimation using nonlinear autoregressive multilayer perceptron model

Poverty, an intricate global challenge influenced by economic, political, and social elements, is characterized by a deficiency in crucial resources, necessitating collective efforts towards its mitigation as embodied in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The Gini coefficient is...
