With thanks as ever to Kit Baum, ineqord is now available on SSC. Its functionality is described below. For references to literature, see the help file.



TITLE
'INEQORD': module to calculate indices of inequality and polarization for ordinal data

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)

ineqord calculates indices of inequality and polarization for
ordinal data recorded in the response variable: the
Allison-Foster index, the normalized Average Jump index, multiple
Apouey indices (parameters 0.5, 1, and 2), multiple Abul
Naga-Yalcin indices (parameters (a,b) = (1,1), (2,1), (1,2),
(4,1) and (1,4)), multiple Cowell-Flachaire indices (for
peer-inclusive downward and upward-looking status; parameter
alpha = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and, optionally, another alpha value
between 0 and 1), the Jenkins index, and also the standard
deviation. Optionally, ineqord also derives estimates of
cumulative distribution functions, survivor functions, and
Generalized Lorenz curves. These can be used to describe ordinal
data distributions and to undertake dominance checks of
differences between distributions.
