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.2008.11.004>, 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.
