summary.decomposition: Summarizing inequality decomposition

In ineqJD: Inequality Joint Decomposition

Description

summary method for class "decomposition".

Usage

## S3 method for class 'decomposition'
summary(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'summary.decomposition'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

object	An object of class "decomposition", usually, as result of a call to gini, bonferroni and zenga.
x	rtrtrt
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

summary.decomposition method use

Value

index	String denoting computed index.
joint	Array of joint decompositions by sources and subpopulations.
pairs	Matrix of decompositions by subpopulations.
within	Vector of within part to the overall inequality. It denotes the part of the overall inequality derived from the inequality inside each subpopulation.
between	Vector of between part to the overall inequality. It denotes the part of the overall inequality derived from the comparison between subpopulations.
groups	Vector of subpopulations contribution to the overall inequality.
groups_sources	Matrix of subpopulations contributions for each source to the overall inequality.
sources	Vector of sources contribution to the overall inequality.
synthetic	Scalar denoting the value of the synthetic index.

Examples

G <- c(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3) # vector denoting group membership
X1 <- c(0, 0, 0, 500, 700, 300, 750, 1000, 500, 500, 500, 1000) # vector of the first source
X2 <- c(0, 0, 0, 500, 300, 700, 750, 500, 700, 700, 1000,600) # vector of the second source
data <- data.frame(G, X1, X2) # no sample weights are considered
x <- dataProcessing( # data preparation
  units = data[, c('X1', 'X2')],
  groups = data[, 'G'],
)
