Long standing members of this list will not be surprised that Nick and
I agree on this point. To put it in another way, you seem to want to
summarize difference between the shape of a variable and a theoretical
curve in one number. By necessity this will throw away a huge amount
of information. Even if you thought that that was acceptable, than
you'd still have to consider very carefully what that number is
measuring and what it is not measuring. In all likelihood it is not
measuring what you think it measures.
