calculating gini index

I want to what type of Gini coeffcient used in item distribution and what is the formula to calculate Gini coeffcient and Gini index

Hi,

 

the one used in Trees and Weight By Gini can be found here:

Thank you

Is this formula used for clustring kmean evalution?

do you have the formula as mathematical equation?

Hi,

 

for clustering its: https://github.com/rapidminer/rapidminer-studio/blob/master/src/main/java/com/rapidminer/operator/validation/clustering/exampledistribution/GiniCoefficient.java

or in code

		double sum = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
			sum = sum + x[i];
		}

		double mean = sum / n;

		sum = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < x.length; j++) {
				sum = sum + Math.abs(x[i] - x[j]);
			}
		}

		if (mean == 0) {
			return 0.0;
		}

		return 1 - (sum / (2 * mean * (n * ((double) n - 1))));

 

Best,

Martin
