Description

This function estimates the inequality indices (relative or absolute) of Kolm.

Usage

kolm(
  x,
  w = rep(1, length(x)),
  eta = 1,
  data = NULL,
  absolute = FALSE,
  na.rm = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	a numerical vector whose index is to be estimated
w	an optional vector of non-negative integer values weights.
eta	the inequality aversion parameter (>0). Larger value indicate higher aversion, zero inequality neutrality.
data	the data frame where the variables are found.
absolute	a logical, indicating if the absolute rather than relative measure be given.
na.rm	a logical indicating whether NA's should removed.
