Evaluating some previous measures

While the idea of concentration or unequal distribution seems unambiguous, attempts to make it operational, verbally or mathematically, reflect a remarkably wide range of interpretations. On the other hand, the diversity is not nearly as great as the number of alternative indices might lead one to suspect. Many of the indices of inequality (as well as indices of a variety of related concepts) turn out, despite surface differences to be functionally equivalent. One set of measures is based on the sum of squares, or approach, and the other is based on deviations from a line of perfect equality. And in the conclusion we will show that even these two types of indices are translatable into equivalent terms.
