Rational Normalization of Concentration Measures.
Bonckaert, P.; Egghe, L.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v42 n10 p715-22 Dec 1991
Discusses normalization features of good concentration measures and extends the range of values of concentration measures that are population-size-independent. Rational normalization is described, and mathematical formulas for the coefficient of variation, Pratt's measure, the Gini index, Theil's measure, and Atkinson's indices are explained.
