Arguments

name
name of concentration measure, currently only "HHI" is supported.
conc_aversion
concentration aversion value(s)
conc_groups

an object of class 'weight_concentration_objective'

Details

The conc_aversion argument can be a scalar or vector of concentration aversion values. If conc_aversion is a scalar and conc_groups is NULL, then the concentration aversion value will be applied to the overall weights.

If conc_groups is specified as an argument, then the concentration aversion value(s) will be applied to each group.
