gmd() computes Gini's mean difference for a numeric vector
or for all numeric vectors in a data frame.
Usage
gmd(x, select = NULL)
Value
For numeric vectors, Gini's mean difference. For non-numeric vectors
or vectors of length < 2, returns NA.
Arguments
x
A vector or data frame.
select
Optional, names of variables as character vector 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.
