Description: Tools for measuring income and wealth inequality. Computes the
    Gini coefficient with bootstrap or asymptotic confidence intervals
    following Davidson (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.09.011>, the
    extended S-Gini family, Theil T and L indices (generalised entropy
    family), the Atkinson index, the Kolm absolute inequality index, Palma
    ratio, Hoover index, percentile ratios, and Lorenz curves. Supports
    between-within group decomposition following Bourguignon (1979)
    <doi:10.2307/1914138>, income share tabulation, concentration indices
    for health inequality with Erreygers (2009) correction, Kakwani tax
    progressivity and Reynolds-Smolensky redistribution indices,
    Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures including the Sen index, growth
    incidence curves following Ravallion and Chen (2003)
    <doi:10.1016/S0165-1765(02)00205-7>, and Wolfson polarisation. All
    functions accept optional survey weights and work with data from any
    source.
