disparitatea

Disparitatea, in Romanian, translates as disparity in English and denotes a difference or inequality between two or more entities. It is used to describe deviations in value, level, or outcome, and can refer to both measurable and perceptual differences.

In statistics and data analysis, disparity describes unevenness in a distribution. It is commonly quantified with indices such as the Gini coefficient, Theil index, and Atkinson index, as well as the coefficient of variation; these measures summarize how far a distribution is from perfect equality.

In social sciences and public policy, disparities denote gaps in outcomes or access among groups defined by factors such as income, race or ethnicity, gender, or geography. Examples include income disparities, health disparities, and educational disparities. Understanding disparities is central to policy design and evaluation.

In vision and imaging, disparity refers to the difference in the apparent position of a scene point between two views, typically left and right images. Stereo disparity underpins depth estimation and 3D reconstruction.

In other domains, disparities can describe differences in linguistic usage, resource distribution, or environmental indicators, often inviting analysis of causes and interventions aimed at reducing the gap.
