datasets

Computes entropy-based segregation indices, as developed by
Theil (1971) <isbn:978-0471858454>, with a focus on
the Mutual Information Index (M) and Theil's Information Index (H).
The M, further described by Mora and Ruiz-Castillo (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9531.2011.01237.x>
and Frankel and Volij (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jet.2010.10.008>,
is a measure of segregation that is highly decomposable. The package provides
tools to decompose the index by units and groups (local segregation),
and by within and between terms. The package also provides a method to decompose
differences in segregation as described by Elbers (2021) <doi:10.1177/0049124121986204>
Includes standard error estimation by bootstrapping.
