Gini Index
Description
Calculate Gini indices for a phyloseq object.
Usage
inequality(x)
Arguments
x

Details
Gini index is a common measure for relative inequality in
economical income, but can also be used as a community diversity
measure. Gini index is between [0,1], and increasing gini index implies
increasing inequality.
Value
A vector of Gini indices
