Interval-valued quantification of the inequality associated with a random set

In this paper we formalize the measurement of the inequality associated with a (compact convex) random set, by considering this last notion to model interval-valued random variables whose values are allowed to overlap, and extending the well-known family of the Gastwirth inequality indices. We analyze the fundamental properties of the extended indices and illustrate their use.
