Description: Calculates commonly used indicators for empirical
        international trade analysis from user-supplied data. Measures
        include trade openness, bilateral export and import intensity,
        the Herfindahl-Hirschman concentration index, normalized and
        entropy-based diversification, structural diversification
        relative to a benchmark, export similarity, trade
        complementarity, revealed comparative advantage, and
        intra-industry trade. Functions are vectorized where
        appropriate, validate economically meaningful inputs, and
        require no external data service. The definition of trade
        openness follows the World Bank indicator metadata
        <https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.TRD.GNFS.ZS>.
        Methodological background for several trade indicators is
        provided by the World Bank's World Integrated Trade Solution
        <https://wits.worldbank.org/wits/wits/witshelp/Content/Utilities/e1.trade_indicators.htm>
        and the World Trade Organization (2012, ISBN:9789287038128).
