Measuring inequality in a cross-tabulation with ordered categories: from the Gini coefficient to the Tog coefficient
This paper introduces the Tog coefficient, which can be used to measure the level of inequality in a cross-tabulation of two ordinal-level variables. The Gini coefficient is a standard measure of income inequality which has been adapted by other authors for use in different contexts such as the measurement of health inequalities and the quantification of occupational segregation; the Tog coeffi...

متن کاملThe Gini Index and Measures of Inequality
The Gini index is a summary statistic that measures how equitably a resource is distributed in a population; income is a primary example. In addition to a self-contained presentation of the Gini index, we give two equivalent ways to interpret this summary statistic: first in terms of the percentile level of the person who earns the average dollar, and second in terms of how the lower of two ran...
متن کاملFeature Selection for Text Classification Based on Gini Coefficient of Inequality
A number of feature selection mechanisms have been explored in text categorization, among which mutual information, information gain and chi-square are considered most effective. In this paper, we study another method known as within class popularity to deal with feature selection based on the concept Gini coefficient of inequality (a commonly used measure of inequality of income). The proposed...
