gini: Calculates a Gini Index
In GeoXp: Interactive exploratory spatial data analysis

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also

The function gini() calculates the Gini Index associated to the variable var.

gini(var)

var

a vector of numerical values of size n

Let x_k, k=1,...,K be the distinct values taken by var. For each site, Gini.r returns two pairs of frequencies. The pair (f,g) where f represents

f_k=frac(1)(n)sum_i 1(Var_i=x_k)

(n is the length of var) and g represents

g_k=frac(x_k)(bar(x))f_k

The pair (F,G) represents the corresponding cumulative frequencies.
The Gini Index is calculated as :

I_G=frac(1)(2bar(x))sum_(i=1)^K sum_(j=1)^K abs(x_i-x_j)

(f, F, g, G, gini) where f, F, g and G are vectors of size K and gini a numeric value.

This function is used in ginimap.R but it is not an interactive function.
