ISDuncan

Duncan's segregation index is one-group form of 
dissimilarity index <code>DIDuncan</code> and 
measures the unevenness of a group distribution 
compared to the rest of the population. It can be interpreted
as the share of the group that would have to move to achieve 
an even distribution compared to the rest of the population.

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

ISDuncan 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>
