(Package: GiniWegNeg) :
Computing the Gini-Based Coefficients for Weighted and Negative Attributes
This package was born to extend the Gini-based coefficients to non-traditional scenarios, i.e. in the case of negative data. The computation of the Gini coefficient in the case of negative weighted data involves, in addition to the vector of attributes (typically incomes), the vector of weights associated with each statistical unit. Two functions are made available for the computation of the Gini coefficient in the case of negative attributes. A first function is based on the contribution by Chen, Tasur and Rhai (1982), further improved by Berebbei and Silber (1985). Recently, a more appropriate normalization factor was introduced by Raffinetti, Siletti and Vernizzi (2015), who specified a new definition of the "polarized" scenario, where the total negative attribute amount is assigned to one unit, the total positive attribute amount to another unit, while all the other units have a zero amount of attribute. Also the plot of the corresponding curve of maximum inequality (RSV curve), both by considering the attribute values in absolute and relative terms, is provided. Moreover, even the function for the computation of the pseudo-Gini (concentration) coefficient is given, as proposed by Raffinetti, Siletti and Vernizzi (2016).
