Description: Extremely fast and memory efficient computation of the DER
        (or PaF) income polarization index as proposed by Duclos J. Y.,
        Esteban, J. and Ray D. (2004). "Polarization: concepts,
        measurement, estimation". Econometrica, 72(6): 1737--1772.
        <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00552.x>. The index may be
        computed for a single or for a range of values of the
        alpha-parameter and bootstrapping is also available.
