Compute Generalised Lorenz curve data

The Generalised Lorenz Curve (GLC) scales the Lorenz curve by mean health, making it sensitive to both inequality and average health level.

Usage

compute_generalised_lorenz_data(
  health_dist,
  pop_weights,
  label = "Distribution"
)

Arguments

health_dist

Numeric vector of health values by group.

pop_weights

Numeric vector of population weights.

label

Optional character label for this curve.

Value

A tibble with columns cum_pop, cum_health_generalised, and label.

Examples

compute_generalised_lorenz_data(c(60, 63, 66, 69, 72), rep(0.2, 5))
