A Monte Carlo method to estimate the confidence intervals for the concentration index using aggregated population register data
2015
Health Services & Outcomes Research Methodology
In this paper, we introduce several statistical methods to evaluate the uncertainty in the concentration index (C) for measuring socioeconomic equality in health and health care using aggregated total population register data. The C is a widely used index when measuring socioeconomic inequality, but previous studies have mainly focused on developing statistical inference for sampled data from population surveys. While data from large population-based or national registers provide complete
