A function to compute Reardon (2009) ordinal indices
1 | ordinalseg(x)
|
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. The rows represent the nominal categories (spatial units) and the columns the ordinal categories. |
A vector with Reardon multi-group ordinal segregation indices: Lambda1 - ordinal generalization of the information theory index Lambda2 - ordinal generalization of the variation ratio index Lambda3 - ordinal square root index Lambda4 - ordinal absolute difference index
