Calculating Area Between Two Lorenz Curves in R
Calculating Area Between Two Lorenz Curves in R The Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of income or wealth distribution among individuals within a population, named after the American economist E.H. Lorenz who first introduced it in 1912 to study the distribution of national income. In recent years, the concept has gained attention for its application in sociology, economics, and political science. The curve plots the proportion of total population against the cumulative percentage of total population.

Estimating Probit Regression Models with Ordinal Independent Variables in R.
Estimating Probit Regression Models with Ordinal Independent Variables in R Introduction In regression analysis, one of the key challenges is handling ordinal independent variables. These are variables that have a natural order or hierarchy, such as categorical data with distinct levels (e.g., age categories). When these variables are present in a model, traditional dummy coding methods can lead to multicollinearity and reduced model accuracy. In this article, we will explore ways to estimate probit regression models using R, focusing on handling ordinal independent variables.

Splitting Multi-Polygon Geometry into Separate Polygons with R and sf Package
To split a multi-polygon geometry into separate polygons, you can use the st_cast function with the "POLYGON" type and set the group_or_split parameter to TRUE. The warn parameter is then set to FALSE to prevent warnings about copied attributes. Here’s how you can modify your original code: library(tidyverse) library(sf) df %>% st_as_sf() %>% st_cast("POLYGON", group_or_split = TRUE, warn = FALSE) %>% ggplot() + geom_sf(aes(fill = id)) + geom_sf_label(aes(label = id)) This will create a separate polygon for each occurrence of the id in your data.
