Quickly compute Gini coefficients in Stata

Install this package using the following command in Stata:

net install fgini, from("https://github.com/drofphilosophe/Stata-fgini/raw/main") replace

## Description This program will compute the Gini coefficient of a numeric variable. The Gini is defined as a function of all pairwise combinations of the values of a variable and many implmentations scale in compute time with the square of the number of observations. This program implements in algorithim described by Vic Duoba and Nairn MacGibbon, (https://statsnz.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p20045coll1/id/4199/ accessed on 2024-09-16) which after sorting data scales linearlly with the number of observations. The algorithim is implmentated in Mata, and can be substantially faster than other implementations, particularlly when the number of observations is large.
