Abstract: Abstract In this chapter I present analyses that document various aspects of the empirical relationships among the segregation indices examined in this study. I document both situations where the indices consistently agree and also situations where they often disagree. I then offer observations on what may be learned from considering these two situations. In addition, I use portions of the chapter to review several practical issues researchers may want to consider when using the indices in empirical studies.
