- Watts (1992) mentions the IP index by Karmel & MacLachlan (1988). This is
IP = sum_i {| M_i - a_bar * T_i | } / T
Where
M_i
is the local count of group M,
a_bar
is the global share of group M
T_i
is the local total in area i
T
Is the total population overall.
It was introducted in the context of occupational segregation by gender
- Waldorf (1992) mentions Jakubs (1891) and Morgan(1983)'s adaptation of the dissiminarity indiex to include a distance function
This takes on the form
DBMI = min(D_obs) / min(D_ext)
Where
min(D_obs)
is the minimum total relocation distance needed to transform the observed distirbution into the uniform distribution
And
min(D_ext)
Is the minimun total relocation distance necessary to transform the extreme of a completely segregated pattern into a uniform distribution
- this is a bullet point
