| Aug 9, 2019 at 0:31 | comment | added | Glen_b | There are lots of questions on site that deal with diversity/ concentration indices and related measure of categorical "spread". Start here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_index (also see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herfindahl%E2%80%93Hirschman_Index; it's effectively the Simpson Index but the article links to the same notion existing in multiple areas). | |
