Six relations between the symmetrized Theil Redundancy and the Hoover Index ("Robin Hood Index"). Could zAccept (the orange curve is its negative value) be used as an indicator for the acceptance of inequality? Python code: rSym = 0.5 * sum(math.log(a / b) * ((a / a_total) - (b / b_total)) for a, b in pairs) zHoover = 0.5 * sum( abs ((a / a_total) - (b / b_total)) for a, b in pairs) from https://web.archive.org/web/http://snrk.de/inequality_experiment.ods (2008) Goetz Kluge, 2025
