Atkinson

The spatial version of Atkinson inequality index is based on 
Lorenz curves. The user can decide wich part of the curve contributes more 
to the index, by choosing the value of the shape parameter, delta.

A set of indexes and tests for the analysis of social segregation.

Atkinson function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>- an object of class matrix (or which can be coerced to that class), 
where each column represents the distribution of a group within 
spatial units. The number of columns should be greater than 1 (at least 2 
groups are required). You should not include a column with total 
population, because this will be interpreted as a group.</dd>
<dt>delta</dt>
<dd>- an inequality aversion parameter</dd></dl>
