gmd() computes Gini's mean difference for a numeric vector
or for all numeric vectors in a data frame.
Usage
gmd(x, ...)
Arguments
x
A vector or data frame.
...
Optional, unquoted names of variables that should be selected for
further processing. Required, if x is a data frame (and no vector)
and only selected variables from x should be processed. You may also
use functions like : or tidyselect's select_helpers.
Value
For numeric vectors, Gini's mean difference. For non-numeric vectors
or vectors of length < 2, returns NA.
