LQ: A function to compute location quotients (LQs)
In OasisR: Outright Tool for the Analysis of Spatial Inequalities and Segregation
LQ R Documentation
A function to compute location quotients (LQs)
Description
Location quotients compare the relative part of a
group in a particular spatial unit, to the relative part of that
same group in the area.
Usage
LQ(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
population, because this will be interpreted as a group.
Value
A matrix containing the location quotients for each group in each spatial unit
