calc_gini_fromCDF: Calculates the Gini Coefficient from a CDF function

In antrologos/inequalityTools: Tools for analizing income inequality

Description

Calculates the Gini Coefficient from a CDF function

Usage

calc_gini_fromCDF(
  cdf,
  boundedIntegral = F,
  p_lowerBound_integration = 0.004,
  p_upperBound_integration = 0.997
)

Arguments

cdf	A CDF function
boundedIntegral	A logical value. Indicates if the numerical integral should be performed only over a given bounded/finite interval. In this case p_lowerBound_integration and p_upperBound_integration should be informed
p_lowerBound_integration	Lower bound of the finite interval over which the integral will be calculated
p_upperBound_integration	Upper bound of the finite interval over which the integral will be calculated

Value

Returns the numeric value of the Gini Coefficient
