Generalized Lorenz ordinates

Description

Compute the generalized Lorenz ordinates of dep_var (i.e. the share of total income observations up to each value in dep_var amass scaled by the mean income).

Usage

compute_generalized_lorenz_ordinates(dep_var, weights)

Arguments

dep_var

dependent variable of a distributional function. Discrete or continuous numeric vector.

weights

numeric vector of non-negative observation weights, hence of same length as dep_var.

Value

thes generalized Lorenz ordinates for a vector dep_var.

Examples

dep_var <- c(1, 3, 9, 16, 3, 7, 4, 9)
weights <- c(2, 1, 3, 4, 4, 1, 6, 3)
generalized_lorenz_ordinates <-
  compute_generalized_lorenz_ordinates(
    dep_var = dep_var,
    weights = weights
  )
