Gini

The spatial version of the Gini index can be derived from 
the Lorenz curve as the area between the segregation curve and the 
diagonal.

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

Gini 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></dl>

Arguments

A function to compute Spatial Gini's segregation index — Gini
