iod: Inequality with ordinal Data

In RamnathKumar98/Inequality-with-Ordinal-Data: Inequality with Ordinal Data

Description

Based on the inequality with ordinal data paper written by Cowell. This implements a method to calculate inequality when data is ordinal using only number of observations in that class. Returns a list with su,sd,I_up,I_down. These results can later be unnamed and used for further purposes. We can access each value using result['su'], result['sd'], etc.

Usage

IOD(n,alpha,e,mean)

Arguments

n	A vector containg number of people in each observation
mean	A boolean used to define equality
e	A scalar containg equality or reference point
alpha	A scalar containg sensitivity of inequality with status

Examples

result <- IOD(c(0,50,25,25),alpha=4,e=1,mean=TRUE)
print(result['su'])
print(result['sd'])
print(result['e'])
print(result['I_up'])
print(result['I_down'])
