The distribution of errors is a central object in the assesment and benchmarking of computational chemistry methods. The popular and often blind use of the mean unsigned error as a benchmarking statistic leads to ignore distributions features that impact the reliability of the tested methods. We explore how the Gini coefficient offers a global representation of the errors distribution, but, except for extreme values, does not enable an unambiguous diagnostic. We propose to relieve the ambiguity by applying the Gini coefficient to mode-centered error distributions. This version can usefully complement benchmarking statistics and alert on error sets with potentially problematic shapes.
