summary.decomposition: Summarizing inequality decomposition

Description

summary method for class "decomposition".

Usage

# S3 method for decomposition
summary(object, ...)
# S3 method for summary.decomposition
print(x, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "decomposition", usually, as result of a call to gini, bonferroni and zenga.

x

rtrtrt

…

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

index

String denoting computed index.

joint

Array of joint decompositions by sources and subpopulations.

pairs

Matrix of decompositions by subpopulations.

within

Vector of within part to the overall inequality. It denotes the part of the overall inequality derived from the inequality inside each subpopulation.

between

Vector of between part to the overall inequality. It denotes the part of the overall inequality derived from the comparison between subpopulations.

groups

Vector of subpopulations contribution to the overall inequality.

groups_sources

Matrix of subpopulations contributions for each source to the overall inequality.

sources

Vector of sources contribution to the overall inequality.

synthetic

Scalar denoting the value of the synthetic index.
