Dear list, I have already posted to sci.stat.consult, however, I was hoping that there might be some experience in the R community on the following question: I am wondering whether anyone has experience with variants of (parametric) Gini coefficients (or alternatives) which allow for reflect

Dear List, I am unsure if this is specifically a R question or a stats question? I thought i would ask here and if i get no replies it will answer that! I am trying to calculate Gini coefficients in R, based on a slight modification of the typical equation that i have seen in a paper. Past
