Hi listers, Does it necessary to install any package in order to use the GINI or INEQ functions. If I use the following command the R tells me that didn't find the GINI function. x<-c(541, 1463, 2445, 3438, 4437, 5401, 6392, 8304, 11904, 22261) G<-gini(x) Thanks in advance, Marcio -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Function-Gini-or-Ineq-tp252...

Dear useRs, my last announcement is an update of the ineq package for measuring inequality, concentration and poverty. The current version is now 0.2-4. Thanks to suggestions from Rein Halbersma the Pen() function for plotting Pen's parade was improved and now allows for much more flexibility. See the help page for examples. Best wishes, Z --------...

Dear All, I wish to calculate the Gini index (ineq from same package) and some other indices for the diameter distribution of each plot (df dgtot). dgtot: IDPlot Diameter(cm) 1 4 34.0 2 4 23.0 3 4 38.0 ... 51 5 16.0 52 5 8.0 53 5 9.0 ... 5301 140 25.0 5302 140 12.0 5303 140 7.0 I us...

Hi everybody, please, could you give me help ? I scanned the help archives and didn't found hints... I want to solve a large sparse linear system subjected to an inequality constrains (all solutions positive) and an equality constrain (all solutions sum to 1), thus I tried to fool constrOptim using: x[1] + 0 + ... + 0 >= 0 ... 0 + 0 + ... + x[n] >= 0 x[1] + x[2] + ... + x[n] >= 1 -x[1] - x[2] - ... - x[n] >= -1 in minimization: min(...

I came across the package 'ineq' that computes a variety of inequality measures (e.g. gini, theil etc). I want to compute the Theil index (racial segregation) and decompose the total into sub-components (by geog levels). I think the package doesn't report the decomposition (correct me if I'm wrong). Just wonder is tha...

I am trying to create a 2x2xk contingency table. The variables are GDP and an income inequality statistic with year being the k levels. I want to eventually run a loglinear model with the data. Currently the data is organized by either year or country. example Country Year log(GDP) sqrt(INEQ) 1 1980 24 5.3 1 1981 25 5.45...

If I use the Ineq library and the Gini function in this way: >Gini(c(100,0,0,0)) I obtain the result 0.75 instead of 1 (that is the perfect inequality). I think Gini's formula in Ineq is based on a formula as reported here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GiniCoefficient.html but in the case of perfect inequ...

Hi, I'm using the ineq package to calculate some concentration measures (Gini, Herfindal, ...) and I was wondering if there's around also a function to calculate standard error on these measures. If not, is anybody aware of where I can find a reference on this point? Thanks. -- =====================================...

...ction, I noticed there's one intercept in the summary output. I assume this means the function is pooling the data. That means my code is not what I want. I want a "fixed effects" model, meaning I want the intercept to vary by cluster. Here's my current code. gfit4<-geeglm(ineq~GDP.log2,family=gaussian(link="identity"),data=data3,id=country,corstr="ar1") summary(gfit4) What do I need to include to get the function to compute a model where the intercept varies by the country?

...ncome classes. The data I possess look loke this: yit <- c(135, 164, 234, 369) piit <- c(367, 884, 341, 74 ) where yit is the vector of income classes, and fit is the vector of associated frequencies.(This data is from Rustichini, Ichino and Checci (Journal of Public Economics, 1999) ). In ineq pacakge, Gini( ) doesn't seem to handle frequencies. On the other had, Lc() compute the Lorenz curve using these frequencies, but I don't manage to use its output to compute the Gini coefficient. I wonder if you have already writen some function to do this, or if you could shed some light h...

Dear All, I have developed a programme the anable the decomposition of the Gini index, it complets tha valuable work of Achim Zeileis, the author of the ineq package. I would like to make it to be part of all R package. How should I proceed. Must I sent it to the the Core developement team ? The proogramme is written in R. Many thanks for your advice, Best regards, Souleymane _________________________________________________________________ Retouch...

Dear R users, I'm using the "ineq" package to calculate the values ​​of Gini and Lorenz coefficients and to and plot Lorenz graph. I want to plot on the same diagram, curves from two different populations, that have different "n". How can I do this?   Best regards,   Patricia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hence I was confused what this would actually mean. Using the "ineq" package you can also do plot(Lc(parasites, hosts)) > The Lorenz curves starts at (0,0), so to draw it, you need to extend these vectors > > cumul_hosts = c(0,cumul_hosts) > cumul_parasites = c(0,cumul_parasites) > > plot(cumul_hosts,cum9l_parasites,type=?l?) > > >...
