The Gini Coefficient as a useful measure of malaria inequality among populations

2020-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Understanding inequality in infectious disease burden requires clear and unbiased indicators. The Gini coefficient, conventionally used as a macroeconomic descriptor of inequality, is potentially useful to quantify epidemiological heterogeneity. With a potential range from 0 (all populations equal) to 1 (populations having maximal differences), this coefficient is used here to...
