Gorard R Documentation
A function to compute Gorard's segregation index
Description
Gorard's index is an alternative to ISDuncan's
index, which measures the dissimilarity between the distribution of a
group and the total population.
Usage
Gorard(x)
Arguments
x
an object of class matrix (or which can be coerced to that class),
where each column represents the distribution of a group within
spatial units. The number of columns should be greater than 1 (at least 2
groups are required). You should not include a column with total
totals because this will be interpreted as a group
Value
A numeric vector containing Gorard's segregation index values for each group

One-group evenness indices:
ISDuncan, Gini, Atkinson,
HTheil, 'ISWong, ISMorrill,
ISMorrillK
Between groups dissimilarity indices:
DIDuncan, Gini2,
DIMorrill, DIMorrillK, DIWong
Examples
x <- segdata@data[ ,1:2]
Gorard(x)
