help for segregation (Version 2)Carlos Gradín (February 2014)

Segregation indices with optional segregation curve; using either individual data or aggregated data

Description

dicseg estimates several segregation indices across units (e.g. occupations, schools, ...) in a two-group context (i.e. whites vs. nonwhites, men vs. females, ...).

For more details: dicseg if installed;

localseg estimates several local and overall segregation indices across units (i.e. occupations, schools, ...) in a multigroup context (e.g. several racial groups)
as proposed by Alonso-Villar and Del Rio, Local versus Overall Segregation Measures, Mathematical Social Sciences, 2010.

For more details: localseg if installed.

Both modules can use either individual data or data aggregated by units.

Optionally, both modules draw the corresponding segregation curves.

There is an ancillory file for both commands:

They require: Stata version 10 and matsort from SSC

. ssc install matsort	(if not installed)
