Theil & Atkinson

I removed the formula which transforms the Theil-Index int an Atkinson-Index. Arkinson also developped indices based on Entropy, but they are not described in the article. The described inex is not the one which is yielded by the removed transformation formula. That formula was not "wrong", but it would need much more explanation. --84.150.120.105 (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:DL5MDA)[reply]

Interpretation

If you're not an econometrician, you don't have a clue of how to interpret this index. Isn't any interpetation available? examples of link with real world would be welcomed too. Place of Atkinsn index in theory also... I know I'm asking too much but.. thanks in advance!
