Abstract. The computation of variance of the Gini index has been subject to numerous publications. The same results, as well as the same errors, have been republished several times, often with a clear lack of reference to previous work. First, we show where is the trap of the computation of the variance of the Gini index. Next, we show how the variance can be correctly computed. The relevance of the regression-based approach is evaluated.
