Summary/Abstract: In the following work we have described a process of using radar charts to measure concentration of a distribution. The process utilises the idea of Gini index based on a Lorenz curve as well as a method presented by the authors in [Binderman, Borkowski, Szczesny 2010]. The presented technique can also be used by analysts to create new coefficients of concentration based on measures of similarity and dissimilarity of objects so that from the set of constructed coefficients one that best fulfils the required criteria of sensitivity can be chosen.
