- The note examines coefficient-of-variation-based, Gini-based, and life-table-entropy-based relative equality measures from Aburto et al. — Perturbations of lifespan inequality in natural populations
- For the coefficient of variation, variance response is not expected to be proportional to l(x)e(x). — Perturbations of lifespan inequality in natural populations
- For life table entropy, the perturbation response includes a future-age entropy component that is not simply related to remaining life expectancy. — Perturbations of lifespan inequality in natural populations
- For the Gini coefficient, pairwise absolute differences do not respond simply in proportion to expected remaining life at the perturbed age. — Perturbations of lifespan inequality in natural populations
