Abstract: lorenz estimates Lorenz and concentration curves from individual-level data and, optionally, displays the results in a graph. Relative as well as generalized, absolute, unnormalized, or custom-normalized Lorenz or concentration curves are supported, and tools for computing contrasts between different subpopulations or outcome variables are provided. Variance estimation for complex samples is fully supported.
