c_inequality {stops}

c-inequality Calculates c-inequality (as in an economic measure of inequality) as Pearsons coefficient of variation of the fitted distance matrix. This can help with avoiding degenerate solutions. This is one of few c-structuredness indices not between 0 and 1, but 0 and infinity.
