r.cha.sub

Computes the measure of affluence in subpopulation analogous to the poverty index of Chakravarty(1983).

Enables to compute the statistical indices of affluence (richness) with bootstrap errors, and inequality and polarization indices. Moreover, gives the possibility of calculation of affluence line. Some simple errors are fixed and it works with new version of Spatial Statistics packaged.
