sgini {acid} | R Documentation |
This function computes the Single-parameter Gini coefficient (a.k.a. generalised Gini coefficient or extended Gini coefficient) for a vector of observations.
sgini(x, nu = 2, w = NULL)
x |
a vector of observations. |
nu |
a scalar entailing the parameter that tunes the degree of the policy maker's aversion to inequality. See Yaari, 1988 for details. |
w |
a vector of weights. |
Gini |
the Gini coefficient for the sample. |
bcGini |
the bias-corrected Gini coefficient for the sample. |
