How It Works

Plot and analyze the Lorenz curve to visualize income distribution inequality and estimate the poverty gap from cumulative income shares

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Cumulative income shares — The cumulative income shares recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the lorenz curve result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the cumulative income shares for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Plot and analyze the Lorenz curve to visualize income distribution inequality and estimate the poverty gap from cumulative income shares. Use the lorenz curve result to inform your clinical assessment.
