Hello, I would like to build a Lorenz curve and calculate a Gini coefficient in order to find how much parasites does the top 20% most infected hosts support.
Here is my data set: Number of parasites per host: parasites = c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) Number of hosts associated with each number of parasites given above: hosts = c(18,20,28,19,16,10,3,1,0,0,0) To represent the Lorenz curve: I manually calculated the cumulative percentage of parasites and hosts: cumul_parasites <- cumsum(parasites)/max(cumsum(parasites)) cumul_hosts <- cumsum(hosts)/max(cumsum(hosts)) plot(cumul_hosts, cumul_parasites, type= "l") >From this Lorenz curve, how can I calculate the Gini coefficient with the >function "gini" in R (package reldist) given that the vector "hosts" is not a >vector of weights ? Thank you very much for your help.
